There aren’t many movies more universally beloved than The Lion King.
Even if you weren’t in the under-ten demographic when it came out in 1994, you probably watched it anyway. Like Finding Nemo, this timeless kids' movie is just enjoyable to watch as a grown-up.
Sure, if you’re acquainted with a 3-year-old, and you’re on your 300th watching, it might have lost its luster a tiny bit. But thanks to the fantastic soundtrack, it’s pretty much impossible to give up The Lion King entirely.
This is particularly true when you have the amazing talent of YouTuber Sam Robson giving the familiar music an incredible new twist! Some readers might recognize him from his impressive renditions of popular hymns.
He has an amazing talent for creating multi-track choral arrangements, where he sings every note and adds in just a few percussion instrumentals. Otherwise, everything he creates is acapella.
What was most remarkable to me about this video is the sheer number of tracks he had to combine to create a note-perfect replica of the beloved song "The Circle of Life." According to his YouTube page, parts of this song required as many as 50 distinct tracks!
If you’re a lifelong fan of The Lion King, please SHARE Sam Robson’s incredible talent with all of your friends!
