🎵 Community Concert
Hive Open Mic 99
The 99th consecutive Hive Open Mic event ran from February 27-March 5, 2022, with the theme: Oneness. For this week's special event, we invited musicians to participate in singing one song: "Oh My Love," by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This song is noteworthy for its divine melody and message, reflecting upon the feeling of real love.
The video you're about to see is a mashup, created by blending 100+ performances, featuring ~110 Hive musicians. The result is a unique presentation of this song, by musicians of numerous nations, with various styles and diverse skill levels, bringing together our hearts through our art. We joined our voices and instruments, showcasing our community's creative spirit, demonstrating the harmonizing power of music. In this way, we made a powerful statement of world peace.
Here is the full list of 100+ Hive musicians appearing in this video, in order of their first appearance: 
Note to Musicians: It was a total joy seeing and hearing each of these 100+ live music entries. Naturally, the video editing process required some heavy lifting, and the hardest part was letting go of the artistic greatness that could be witnessed in any instance. Some artists' creative genius was given only 1 second of screen time in the finished video here, although every shined in brilliance and beauty. It was a pleasure to feel everyone's presence.
Thank you for making a stand for global harmony by expressing and connecting.

Omar and Dina brought their artistry in an astounding way. Finding a woman who sings that bass is like finding a needle in a haystack, and at Hive Open Mic we are happy to have musicians as important as this duo gracing our sound and our community. We are thankful to these artists for being an example of constancy and guidance for those who are joining this experience.

Felicitaciones a Dina por atreverse a cantar en la octava grave, aquí pudimos ver tus bajos en plena capacidad, si pudiste cantar esta canción podrás cantar cualquier canción de voz grave que te propongas.

Lo que tienes en esas cuerdas vocales es una bendición, es una de esas voces especiales que no son fáciles de hallar, y mientras más la trabajas más impresionante se vuelve. Yo estoy orgulloso de conocerlos, definitivamente los esperé toda mi vida. ¡Feliz día amigos míos, excelente aporte..." -
