Chanticleer on The Today Show - December 2008 (part 2)

[somethingclever2007]

My Grandpa first introduced me to the Chanticleers year before last on a Thanksgiving trip to a lodge in Nebraska City, Nebraska. I'm a younger guy with a broad taste in music, but these guys flat out gave me the chills. Raw, wholesome, powerful music. Thanks for sharing!

dude...one of the guys from this group, Ben Johns, came to my school to teach us how to sing in choir

[emvyrupp13]

Do you mean Ben Jones? Because he's my uncle[: Lol.

[Maestro2500]

@emvyrupp13 He probably does mean Ben Johns, Chanticleer's director of education.

You don't hear a bass's voice, you feel it...

[1artistcyclist]

It must be the Christmas season, because I feel compelled to load my quicklist with the wonderful sounds of Chanticleer. Merry Christmas to all!

[kps330]

Holy crap! God? Izzat you?

That bassist's speaking voice is hilariously creepy...

[TheAnneelise]

LOL :)

[dasenteney]

what did the bass say in the beginning? All I heard was "I bee bee in." "ire califoree" "this is my 19th year."

[eoinsac]

First was "that would be me" (in response to the question "who's been here longest?").

Second statement: "Eric Alatorre", his name.

Third statement: "this is my 19th year".

[OldTimerGoGetter]

Beautiful. Just absolutely beautiful!

Ever since I was 12 or so when my mother bought a Chanticleer CD, I've been in love with them.

[arislabadie]

holy crap, thats a deep natural voice. Chanticleer is awesome, i personally like them performing early music like palestrina or josquin.

[carlsage]

These 2 selections were my introduction to this amazing vocal orchestra. I've never even cared for A Cappella music, until this month. Bravo, Chanticleer!
