Eminem and a classically trained percussionist performing together could produce beautiful music
The past seems to be repeating itself with a slight variation. Eminem will once again perform with an artist that is completely unrelated to hip-hop, the first time was with Elton John, this time he will be performing with a Scottish percussionist. This is the first time I have heard of Evelyn Glennie, who is a renowned percussionist. The combination is intriguing, and the two’s collaboration will hopefully produce a memorable moment in the crossing of two completely different sounds of music.
IT SOUNDS like the most unlikely musical collaboration since David Bowie teamed up with Bing Crosby. But percussionist Dame Evelyn Glennie has revealed plans to perform with rap hell-raiser Eminem.
The classically trained Scottish virtuoso grew up on a idyllic Aberdeenshire farm, while the US hip-hop star had a chaotic upbringing in a tough inner-city trailer park.Despite their chalk and cheese backgrounds and styles, Glennie is convinced the paircould make beautiful musical together.
Having become one of the world’s most renowned instrumentalists and performers despite being profoundly deaf, she is determined to work with the controversial artist, whose real name is Marshall Mathers.
She said: “Eminem stands up for what he believes in and has pushed musical boundaries. I really want to do a collaboration with him, a double concerto for percussion and rap.”
