Paris: spectacular flash mob on the notes of “Bohemian Rhapsody”

The video of an absolutely spectacular flash mob who came to life on the streets of Paris was loaded on the YouTube channel Julien Cohen. It happened that about thirty musicians and singers performed the classic of the repertoire of Queen “Bohemian Rhapsody” In a succession of surprises that aroused the enthusiasm of the people present, completely unaware of what was happening under his eyes.

It was October 31, 1975 when i Queen They published what would become one of the-symbol songs of their career: “Bohemian Rhapsody”. First single from the fourth studio album of the British band, “A Night at the Opera” (Read the review here), the song wanted to present the concept at the base of that disc: a mix of progressive rock, symphonic rock, hard rock and pop. The singer wrote “Bohemian Rhapsody” In the first months of 1975, in his home in Kensington in London: he had a song different from all those he had written until then, with an unusual, unconventional structure (hence the “Rhapsody” of the title).

“Bohemian Rhapsody” It was a turning point in the experimentation of Freddie Mercury and his companions, who in the concerts following the exit of “A Night at the Opera” They would have had several difficulties in reproducing that song live. They would find the right formula only in 1977, with the tour of “Day at the Races”: opening with the initial ballad, guitar solo of Brian Mayintermediate opera section played by the disc, rock section played all together and Mercury’s final on the floor.
