I'm actually pretty mad it's taken 11 years to get these people on my feed and I'm a Black person from New York that listens to classical music regularly, like wtf?? Subscribed immediately. I hope they're still at it, this is dope!
They literally just did a show last night in nyc. They did shows on 04/02/24 and the 04/03/24. I think they have one more show tomorrow in nyc. The show was amazing and worth the price.
@TimishaSmith-bn6bz wow, glad to hear it! I'm in Chicago nowadays, but definitely going to check out their tour schedule
I was wondering a min ago why something from 11 years ago would show up on my feed.
I love this,seriously youtube 11 years,lol
12 years still dope AF. I found hip opera now this. ❤❤
This is the kinda thing we need to interest younger people in classical music. It’s complex without being stuffy
I am a 57 soon to be retired. I just purchased my first violin ...you guys inspired me..thank you
Retiring at 57? What are you, Greek?
Good for you! Hope you have fun learning!
Love it! How's it going? 😊
❤🎉 love this 🎉 good job Men 💙 why has it taken so long ....
Andddd....this....is.....TALENT 😅😅❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Touched by Love Blessed by the Most High!!!!!
Thank you for existing 🎈🛼🕹️👽🌈
yuo
This is so DOPE!!!!!!
FAMILY,
I GREW UP PLAYING THE DRUMS, BY THE AGE OF 19 I WAS ON MY WAY UNTIL I STARTED RUNNING WITH THE WRONG CROWD.
BY THE AGE OF 23 I NEVER PLAYED PRO AGAIN.
NOW AT 68 YEARS YOUNG WITH A 7 YEAR OLD GRANDSON, I ENROLLED HIM IN VIOLIN CLASS, SUPRISENTLY HE LOVES IT.
HE STARTED SEPT 2024, AND HIS FIRST CONCERT WITH HIS OTHER CLASSMATES WILL BE ON MAY 4TH 2024, GRANDSON TOLD ME HE'S AFRAID TO GO ON STAGE BUT THE ORCHESTRA TEACHER SHOWS GREAT PATIENCE.
I HOPE HE STICKS WITH IT.
FAMILY, PLEASE WISH HIM WELL.
THANKS
1 LOVE ❤

THANKS FOR THE LOVE FAMILY
PEACE TO THE UNIVERSAL ANCESTORS
you're not wrong for anything in this job or art but there must a social media traffic for your videos. make some pr. loves❤ from turkey 🇹🇷
Have fun today with your grandson!
I don't understand why this isn't on mainstream radio. it's sick!
+Alta Jacob That's because this is not trash -it's music.
+Herley Taylor I totally agree
+Herley Taylor well said
Cos this is art.. Not garbage like all other bs mainstream sht
+Ugur Akpinar It's not garbage you just don't like it... What you like is nothing more than the firing of your neurons & other electro-chemical responses. If everyone liked the same stuff the world would be boring.
This is great but it doesn't mean what everyone else listens to or likes is garbage. I dislike Miley Cyrus' music but I won't call it garbage just because I dislike it. It's simply that... I don't like it. Grow up.
The most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life.
WHAT TOOK CZcams 11 YEARS TO RECOMMEND THIS VIDEO TO ME?!?!?! 🔥 YESSSSSSS! 🔥
The violin tells a story far better than any lyrics and voice would. Beautifully done
I hear you yes…but doesn’t the violin just tell …Its story it’s way and in no way diminishes the artists only enhances
Still rocking 2024. Very super cool!!!
Music transcends language.
April 2024 I remember when this came out. Glad it came back on my feed.
Today, you guys played in Anchorage Alaska. My Grand Daughter is 8 years old. And, has been taking Viola lessons for the past 3-4 months. She got to see the FREE concert you had for the school kids. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You inspired her more than you may understand. I told her. It's all up to her. If she puts her effort in. She can play as well as you guys, before she believes she can. You guys are Awesome. You gave our kids something beyond a simple show. You inspired many, like my Grand Daughter, Claire. Thank You! XOXO

That’s amazing i have played violin 🎻 for a 3 years i am Years old
Loved your post! I'm taking my 8 y/o to the upcoming Kalamazoo, MI show...hoping he will be inspired to take up the violin or other instrument. We will see... 😊
I got to see them play live about 2 years ago because a bunch of schools in my area got them at a venue. It was the best concert I've ever been to
Anti Matter that was the first thing i thought of
2024... still my all time favorite violin music. ❤
Something about a violin out of the classical music setting......It just kicks up the funk to the stratosphere ❤❤❤❤ I LOVE IT ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️😁
Slay I play it to
Same
I got a guitar styled like a violin for this reason. :)
@@lordgigglesnort3845 I bet line up to hear you play 👍🙌
You'll are the hole thing and then some, i thank god for you'll Spirit, got me on my grown man
I have a much older friend who is a violinist but is very old school and had no tolerance for hip hop. Yet he heard this, saw the video, and said this is the greatest violin playing he has heard in decades, and this man is a classically trained violinist and has been playing the violin since he was 5 years old, so nearly 70 years. Black Violin is now one of his favorite bands and he teaches violin classes using both classical violin and Black Violin music. He encourages his students to experiment with ALL different styles. He has downloaded a lot of Black Violin music and sometimes I can hear it blasting from the mp3 his granddaughter have him as a birthday gift last year.
That’s a fabulous story❣️😊
💥💥💥💥🤙🏾
Thank you for sharing
Lol WTF
Never to old to learn as long as you keep yourself open to learn
I love ❤️ strings. So proud to see you all jammin’.
Black Violins and D Sharp be making it Look So Easy.💯
I have been playing cello for 5 years now and you guys have really inspired me. I almost quit 2 years ago when things got hard, but because of you guys I persisted. So I thank you for that!
Black Violin needs an international tour!!! Come to Japan, boys!!!
The only thing i don't understand is how come there're 153 dislikes...are you people serious? But yea..there will be haters
Anthony Waver because Dogs don't bark at Parked Cars!
I agree bruh
right with ya....
just because the haters have no talent they dislike who has ....
Anthony Waver. Preference.
Went to see them live last Fall, they performed a phenomenal show!
Not sure why Black Violin is just now hitting my feed but glad to have discovered what I've been missing. Just another example of how Black ppl can take the ordinary & make it extraordinary. Plz keep shining YOUR light!!!
Phenomenal absolutely phenomenal!! MANY blessings to you young men!👍😘🙏
Imagine seeing a whole symphony jamming like this.
It would turn into the best concert we’ve ever been to. We’d have to get on our feet and bounce to it! ❤️💫🌍
Happens all the time. It's called "Pops" or "Synthony".
It would be wonderful
💯
There's a lot of orchestras that do a variety of music in the symphonic style, particularly heavy metal (which adapts very well-really lets you appreciate Sweet Child O' Mine without the vocals to distract). The Istanbul University State Conservatory did an enthusiastic performance of Martin Garrix's "Animals". Dido's "Here With Me" is beautiful anyways, & truly gorgeous symphonically stylized, & there's a The Piano Guys instrumental crossing Adele's Hello with Mozart's Lacrimosa. So it's entirely possible for rap, hip hop or other contemporary genres to be embraced & enjoyed this way. Fusion is good!
As a fan of Jazz ... Classical and old skool hip hop if this is the wave of the future then COUNT ME IN!!! Black classically trained violinists mixin it up with a funky beat? Give me more!!!
Absolutely beautiful and moving who knew violin could make you want to dance. Violin is 1 of my favorite instruments. This is true art and they are true artists. 😍
Yes!!!
You know its fake right?😂😂😂
xReset - my wife and I saw them in Chattanooga in 2019, they were very real. Great concert.

*You should take violin lessons. THEN form your opinion. You could probably purchase a good practice one at a thrift store, or ask your parents to buy it for you (you sound young). I did. Good luck, and trash the negative thinking. Blessings* !
9 years later and I still vividly how my skin crawled with goosebumps to the groove
I’ve been listening to this song for the past 10 years and I’ll never get tired of listening to it. 🖤🖤🖤
Truth!
THIS /is my 1st checkout.. Gonna reveiw shop....
I was classical trained violinist and I simply LOVE these most talented musicians ❤❤❤
Just popped in my recommends today so this is the 1st time I'm hearing about them and I enjoyed this track!
I am clasically trained violinist I was blown away by this by the beats and interesting syncopation styles you used in your music Bravo.
Stop stealing our culture monkey, you'll never be white
Isn’t the name kinda racist
Not if you're black...
Violins and violence come in all colors. Sax and violins...Emily Latella.@@heatherivy-sutterfield841

These guys have played for Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Lupe Fiasco, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, the Roots, Kanye West, etc. Very talented. My kids and I met these guys, they did a Masterclass at a local college in my area, they are such, nice, kind, patient guys. They remain humble despite their growing fame. All the students got to improv with them individually and learn how to loosen up on their string instruments, kids that are used to playing nothing but classical music.
During the masterclass the students got to play alongside them and learn how to improv a little!
The band they tour with is very talented as well! They did an actual concert at the college later and the tickets were sold out!
4mydearlady they also played at the 2017 heisman trophy awards as well if I remember well enough. They're absolutely amazing.
@@eddiemac24 For sure , it's definitely refreshing to see actual hard worker talent putting out music like this. Hey you should take a listen to "The times is now " by prolific, I perceive youl like it.
You guys are amazing the way you compliment each other instrumentally. The pitch & tone is phenomenal. Chevalier would be proud.
That movie on Hulu was top notch! Never heard about Chevalier until then...
U young brothers should be playing everywhere! I grew up listening to all kinds of music. Hearing phenomenal singers and talented musicians in the train stations of the NYC. But Hip hop and classical?, WOW!!! bring it! Well DONE!!!
🎻🎻🎻🎻❤👈🏾
I walked down the aisle to this at my wedding in 2018!!! Had a BLAST!!! It was phenomenal! My brother walked me down and we had such a good time with this! "GET READY"! LOVE IT!!!
Hell yeah!
That's an Intense vision 😂
This should be on the radio stations !!!!! ❤
No Lie. No Exaggeration. My son, 2 & 1/2 years old, has played this video about 10 times a day for the past 3 months.
My wife and I make sure to check #BV every time they come to LA.
Last summer, they did a show at McArthur Park. My son got on stage with his fisher price guitar and random white stick used as a make shift bow. BV showed major love to him, acknowledged him, the crowd showed love.
TBH, as a proud dad, I shed a couple of tears as my son was on stage not making any noise, yet making print smile.
#Peace #BlackViolin #GETREADY!!!!!!!!
Get ready Brother! Ya Sun has already shown u what he's about 2 do!
Awesome
+Perfecto Jeffrey Your son has great taste! It's a wonderful piece
+Eden Mabee even i play it at dinner
+Perfecto Jeffrey pics or that shit didn't happen fam
First time seeing this in 2024!! Definitely not what I was expecting! This is freakin awesome 😎
I too just retired; over 70 and finally got the chance to learn how to play the violin.
I am soooooooooooooo excited! Look out world 😎😎.
Inspiring an entire generation. The power of music colliding with raw talent.
True artists. Gotta see these guys.
This one song, will forever be a favorite of mine when it comes to violin intrumentals.
There was a time I would listen to this repeatedly.
I 1st discovered the song while in my car & I was homeless.
Now living in a new place, new in recovery from alcoholism I hearing this song a year later- it really touches me.
Brings a smile to my face .
I hope that the brothers who bring life through these instruments so well, Know how much they touch a lot of people, like me, in positive ways through their music.
Glad you have overcome your struggles. Stay strong
Keep fighting. My hope is you look at your past and realize how amazing you are! Check out "One Step" new music for the newness of your life.
I am listening in 2020 and still love it.
Good on you! Keep your chin up and always view your successes and how far you've come!
I have a similar story, I used to listen to this song years ago on repeat when I was deep in my addiction. I lost track of it but decided to see if I could find it tonight. I am a year sober things are looking up but when I listen to this song it brings me right back to that place where I was losing my mind. Still love it though, this is definition of art
I discovered your music this year and what a wonder! Your music inspires me a lot and brings me back to those years where music guided my life. Thank you life, Thank you Black Violin 💛🖤 2012-2024… to be continued...
This needs to be everywhere!! Awesome. ❤❤❤
fuck man!!! this is so dope man. Different my lady said "atleast they are not saying bitches and hoes in every sentence"
exactly.
Something might be better than nothing, like a good female vocal sample would be sweet. If you listen closely there is a vocal sample saying Get money lol (oh wait, get money is ok but bitches and hoes is not okay?)
We all are trying to get money... I just get tired of this new music. All that mumbling they do no real lyricist no real lyrics. Just a beat and a rapper with no skills. Maybe I'm just getting old and used to 90's music. Just saying
I feel the same way often.
Y do u have to say the F word
I can see this track making movie trailer or straight up movie theme track...its packing the heat
@dwthomas, I agree with you, however, this song was, in fact, used in the opening credits of a short lived FOX TV show, "Pitch", which was about the true story of the 1st female major league baseball pitcher. I really liked that show. When I saw the show, I recognized the song. Found this video to show to my students, who are from diverse backgrounds and heritages. What's even cooler, I live/teach in the same county where these young men grew up and attended school and learned to play. I was the cool teacher that week. It also reminds me of the gospel song, "I've Got the Victory"
@@jw1198 also in one of the first season episodes of Imposters. I listened to this years ago, forgot, then saw the show and I’m pumped!
I have been playing violin for four years and I played yalls piece and i can confirm that thats one of my personal best favorites playing the violin keep up the work
SO goooood 🔥 Jesus really blessed you guys!!!
WE support you Black Violin.
no, i like green
Now this is talent !!! not the music on the radio today ...
I took my youth group to see them last week in Norfolk. Those young men put on an awesome show. I recommend everyone to support those young brothers. They truly inspired my youth to think outside the box ✊🏾✊🏾.
I’m in awe the magic they create with their violins. They touch my soul. Come to DC!
Black violin is so cool! They turned a classical instrument into hip hop!!!!! That in its self is AMAZING!!!!!!
Where would country music be without the banjo?
Not as hard as you think because rappers sample violin for a lot of songs.
Classical is better than hip hop
Someone didn't know about the song of Wu Tang Clan Reunited 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️
I am 59 and I really enjoy this music no cursing or disrespecting women etc, very talented young men
Um, Ok? We don’t need to know your age.
I'm 64 and agree Melissa
Attention,...I'm glad he mentioned his age,..I am glad Melissa agrees,..So your statement is pointless,...
I am 51,...attention sounds like a 12 year old.
I just love to see the violin , wether its Lindsay sterling , vivaldi , or ....stfu and enjoy the shit
Violin music with swag, love it.
I'm shook! My hope is that they travel far & wide and touch & inspire 1,000's of young peoples lives!! They should be sponsored!! LOVE YOU GUYS!❤
Now this is Hip Hop I can really get into! And I'm 61.
Violin has really come into its own. It has finally broke free from the classical/country typical stuff. David Garret takes his Stradivarius and plays AC/DC, Metallica, Aerosmith...
The people that sit and listen to this type of stuff... are in some ways like the people who sat and listened to Paganini or Vivaldi back in the day. In a way, those guys were the "rock stars" of their era who took the violin and pushed it to new levels.
Really, the ONLY thing I can possibly say on the negative side is that personally, I would love to see that electric switched out for a "real" one. You already have a old school viola, I just think you need to sport a violin :) You can pull so many different sounds and tones from a violin. I think the violin is the one instrument that does not NEED electricity as it can create its OWN electricity. People can rant all they want on this one but...... all I have is ONE word for ALL of them.... STRADIVARIUS!!!!!!
check out 2cellos, they are 2 guys with 2 cellos :p
But they are also thinking outside the box
John Dalzell
That's the beat. 😒
LeonardusLeon they lit
Check out Tornado Rider
These guys bring a whole new level to hip hop. They are very, very talented. I am now a fan. All those haters giving thumbs down are just that--HATERS. SMH
Patricia Patton right. So they do
Yes indeed !
Very talented,! Playing it now for my newborn who is in NICU... move over Mozart!
For sure , it's definitely refreshing to see actual hard worker talent putting out music like this. Hey you should take a listen to "The times is now " by prolific, I perceive youl like it.
FANTASTIC.
Saw them in NYC at New Victory Theater. Amazing concert!!
The violin is the most underrated instrument known world wide.
I love this ART of music. Beats and violin great mix. Greetings from germany.
I really appreciate the sounds of classical hip hop.
Finally somebody rocking a violin
Ok lol
That bass though!!! Sweet combo
The Who did it on Quadrophenia 50 years ago,too. 🎻
Why am I just finding them? Very talented and beautiful music! Bravo!
Where have I been all my life? I just discovered these two OUTSTANDING young men. They came to Charlotte on February 15, 2022 and delivered a free concert for the 4th and 5th graders in CMS Schools. I was beyond jubilant that our students had a wonderful time...and so did I. @blackviolin THANK YOU for what you did for our students! One proud Strings Teacher😊
They were my first concert 7years ago when I was 11-12 years old
I have been waiting to find something like this for years!!! My life has officially changed
Laylaa S have you never heard of Lindsey Stirling?
Laylaa S listen to Damien Escobar... you're welcome
Laylaa S nice
And Josh Vietti
rap
Y'all make music teachers EVERYWHERE smile....Sooooooo Proud
❤2023❤ beautiful
How can 300+ people not like this?
I know this is amazing
Well those people don't know what a good violinist sounds like
Maybe they are are too busy being white. The Trump Society of Ignorance Club.
For every 500-1000 normal people there has to be that one kid in the corner eating paste... same logic there lol
+Monica Evans what the hell you mean busy being white.
My 2 year old watched this video with me and said that she wants a violin like you two. The way you use this gift is inspirational.
Actually one of them plays the violin. The other plays viola. But it's fine. I wouldn't except a two year old to know that the viola exists.
Leo the Lion doosh

That is so cute
2 weeks in love with the notes i'm getting on the fingerboard with the violin. I had to buy a second violin because the first i bought was a dud (the neck was not made right), but it came with a good case. Still in my lower 50's i wish someone would had put this instrument in my hands 40 years ago. :) I'm even getting good draw sounds on the bow now... but like i said i'm two weeks in. Now starting to look at the strings and finger placements (but still at this point cheating, and a lot of the notes are coming naturally to me, on the fingerboard, not necessarily using the right fingers at this point. Eventually... I will have unlearn what I have learned. ;D
❤These two talent men are on my Playlist, and I listen to them as my Sunday morning motivation music. God Bless them, and please protect them and continue to guard their talent. Amen.
11 Years ago😢 😅 now is the right time to get attention again ❤ hip hop and classic violin
Wish they would show more positive images of young black men. Every black man is not a thug. Young black men need more of this. I love it and always say it starts at home with your children. You have to teach them.
Media, Mainstream media and the other outlets that depict black men as a "threat." Some of the biggest strongest men are BABIES, PUSSY CATS, and TEDDY BEARS but still is seen as a threat in others eyes because of pigmentation(!)
Jernell Allen 👍
Jernell Allen AMEN
Here's a start. But young black men need to MAKE that image a reality like these guys did. I don't know anything about the guys in the video. But I can tell you that I'm better for have watched it. THATS real positivity imo.... Just subscribed and if I find them withing 150 miles of my home I'll happily buy tickets for a show!
Renee Gray. Lol i love this comment
Thank you Orchestra teacher for showing me - us - this. Now my head is full of the mkst amazing hip-hop songs I've ever heard. I have become a BIG fan now.
kiyomitube1234 mine tooo
11 years and more … I can never get bored of listening to it
Was just banging this again for the first time in a while. This is awesome music. Their talent is undeniable. Their skill is par excellence. They can't be beat at music making. By anyone. That includes your favorite DJs and beat makers. All of em.
same i was tryna find them for so long
Our first song to our dance in our wedding and NO ONE noticed the song or artists. I'm glad we choose this song.
The Grammy Underground Music goes to this guys .
Fuck the Mainstream Music Business.
Industry Rule No. Four Thousand and Eighty: Record company people are shady! From the streets to the underground- U.S. to the E.U.!!
All of you are amazingly gifted! Don't stop for anything. Stay focused on your God-given destiny.
Such beautiful, dramatic and inspired music. Thank you.
This is great music and it's so beautiful. Thanks black violin.
My students and I are so grateful to be able to enjoy your music in the virtual field trip! YOu just inspired some 5th graders to try orchestra in 6th grade! :)
That's awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing
Hello,how are you doing today it's a great pleasure to meet you would really wish to get a response from toy soon,text on WhatsApp +1609-831-3528
REAL musicians. God Bless and keep you. 🎶🎼🎻
My wife surprised me with tickets for us to see them at the Kravitz Center a few years ago. Great concert.
Omg I played this in my orchestra IT WAS AWESOME
Wow you played this? That's great , it's definitely refreshing to see actual hard worker talent putting out music like this. Hey you should take a listen to "The times is now " by prolific, I perceive youl like it.
because of you guys, I am going to try and play the violin in high school! Your music gives me motivation and I thank you for that!
As a fellow violinist it’s take a long time and I lot of practice to be like this I played the violin for 9 years and with the current passing of my brother and listening to them I’m bout to start back practicing and learn this song for him I’m a lil rusty but probably not to far off cause violin was my life 💙💙💙💙
I’m a life long violinist. Keep a it. It might take years to get to a level you’re happy with, but it’s worth it.
Always a fave.
Love the bow pouncing. Beautiful, gentlemen.
I think this is such incredible music. I heard it on the first episode of "Pitch" and I can't get enough of it.
It almost brought tears to my eyes. Carrying a violin case through Stateway Gardens projects in Chicago. Y'all are making a violin cool thank you
Same here back in the 80s during my middle school years. Carried my violin under my arm and next to my side so as not to look “nerdy” and to give myself a little “edge”.
String instruments are the most intricate to master. Y’all are talented with this gift. So happy I found your channel. I am in a time of need🥰
I was fortunate to have witnessed them live . I took my then revenge yr old to their concert at the time she was just beginning to play . They were very kind to her and even took pictures with her.
I saw Black Violins in Austin Texas. I love these men. They are talented and use their talent to inspire the youth. They did workshops at the schools.
Their kids from elementary through high school in attendance at the concert. Keep doing what you do young brotha's
i kind of want a video of a whole gang of these guys surrounding someone, and then randomly start playing.
It's just a prank pro!
Honestly that would be amazing
Nah, cause then we'd hear a group of musicians who MUST have been yknow druggie gangbangers, duhhh, got shot up by the police. 'ept we'll only know through one of the witness' vids, not the news. Or the cop's car cams. Or any security footage that suddenly isn't there anymore. c:
My favorite instrument, this and the flute, are what I always wanted to learn to play❤
They gave us rap and hip hop. We always played the violin.
my teacher showed us the Black Violin it was so cool!
2021 Still Listening 🎧🎶🔊🎻🔥
*2022, Still listening* !
Old but Gold
I was a violinist in an orchestra for many years and sadly we never did anything like this. I would have loved it if we had. Kudos to you gentlemen! Awesome!
I’m glad they are violinists period, they are extremely talented! My class went on a trip to see them perform today and it was amazing.
Thr one is a violist
Actually one is a violist
I heard an interview on NPR with these awesome guys! As a classically trained musician with very eclectic taste in music, I love this! Rock on guys!
Play you guys on repeat. Love it
This is probably the greatest song I have ever heard
I think they are so talented!!! Nice to bring a classical instrument to hip hop. It actually makes the music sound good.
I would love to see Black Violin play with 2Cellos! Now, that would be mind blowing!
My grandfather was 2nd chair violinist for new York symphony he's passed now he would of loved to hear you guys
Absolutely beautiful
Wow!!! I am super impressed.
