@highrfreeqncs4564 OMA definitely found a cheat code!, I hope many record execs are gnashing their teeth at the moment, it is a literal "Sliced Bread" moment in time! stay strong OMA, don't let em jerk ya!, you are AMAZING!

MC!) Keep up the amazement OMA!, music is life!,I could NOT have walked,cycled by you guys, I would have chilled and bought y'all a beer.
@@bobberto3399 If you haven't seen Rhythm Roulette you should check it out, Producers/DJ's are blindfolded and pick three random records and make a beat using them as the foundation, it's an extraordinary glimpse into the art, without going so deep as to drown people.
Whoever is on the mix is a P.R.O. The drum sound is almost unbelievable for being live in a park with what looks like minimal kit. Who was the engineer? Did they do this themselves? DANG. I'm loving this.
😂 You really believe this is live recording? This was re recorded and heavily edited, just pay attention...like where do keys go out 😂, look at the hi hat, listen to stick counts and so on and on. Go in a park and put a mic in a similiar spot like this and listen to reverb of it. Then go home and try to lose it in a daw without losing the signal at all...this sounds as nothing else is entering the mic besides drums. Sounds familiar? Begins with S and ends with tudio.
Keep in mind that this is mixed insanely good in post-production. Not 100% sure but I think people walking by hear a very basic version of the mix. Still impressive, but not the polished version we hear.
have you ever thought that there is something what the camera doesn't show? Likely there are signs notifying people a video recording is taking place so they ask people to walk on by, this could be posted behind the statue and behind the camera. Personally I've seen this myself for film shoots and band recordings in public.
i truly don't understand how people are able to just walk past this and ignore the vibes? I would drop whatever it is I was going to and just stand there and dance/chill.
@@Nelcasa nothing I said prevents others from living their own life. Maybe Nelcasa needs to chill and quit imagining up wild scenarios just to jump in and feel like a saviour in the comment section. 😆🤣😂
Let's face it. ANY transition from Regulate to a different song is good. I'm just gonna say it was Michael McDonald's "I keep forgetting..." because THATS an actual classic and not trash. 😉
@@doraemon8975 i can see , but thats not the way things are. Nobody can start calling something A or B just because the year of birth....

That little boy vibing to the beat is just gold Alot people regardless of knowing the beat walking by and with not even a head nod is 🤯🤯... purely for the connection they have and their flawless composition should you enjoy a little break ya neck!!
@@oma_band I don't think its a genre thing, I'd just be impressed with people playing in time live any genre. I think people are getting detached. I'd stop to soak in what you were doing, country music, classical, I'd just be interested.
Wow dude you guys are playing every song that I grew up to and I have all these songs on my phone. The thing that is crazy as you guys are all from the UK I expected you guys to be from somewhere in the United States. LoL This is by far the best video I've ever seen in my life of people playing outdoors in a random area.

Dudes, how cool is that? First stumbled onto your ‘James Brown/Funk’ video and was trying to reconcile what I was watching with what I was hearing. Ended up digging both. You’re just 4 very talented musicians having a blast with the different genres and excelling each time. Bravo, gents!

you guys should def do a gig in boston i would love to come out live
SEE YA SOON!

Bring it !
Man, Imagine just walking into a park going for a walk and this is happening. Id be chilling out with these dudes as long as they played.
I would stop my dog, sit and enjoy the entire set if I walked by this.
Same here no doubt!!
Right!
"Sorry boss I was late for work, OMA was filming nearby and I physically couldn't bring myself to leave."
There's already a video. No need to imagine.
As a former hip-hop DJ turned multi instrumentalist, I'm blown away how tight, accurate and diverse these performances are. 10/10
they're all tight but drummer lives in the pocket
Extremely tite!!! This is what I would drive to see and rap loud!!! In the back
@@Marcello-p8s 100%

absolutely
YES! Darn it, Dad. Let him jam!

I, too, watch OMA vids with a piglet that has a talent for herding sheep.
Stop stealing comments
why she always sleeping bruv
every park should have this kind of shows
That "Shook Ones" rendition is crazy good.
My favorite part and judging by their body language it was theirs too.
Whoever is on the mix is a P.R.O. The drum sound is almost unbelievable for being live in a park with what looks like minimal kit. Who was the engineer? Did they do this themselves? DANG. I'm loving this.
I SWEAR… The noises feel so lush and simply FAT… its absolutely beautiful and heavenly to the ears.
I was thinking the same. Whoever's doing the mix is a master-mind.
I’ve got a feeling it’s the keys player, could be wrong though
This whole crew is just so talented. Kudos to whoevers mixing.

Same here!! So thankful for this one. Got me vibing to them!
it keeps surprising me how people walk by totally unaffected like nothing is happening, great stuff, james , man you nailed it to the bone
I agree with how people just seem uninterested. Some without even a head turn.
Keep in mind that this is mixed insanely good in post-production. Not 100% sure but I think people walking by hear a very basic version of the mix. Still impressive, but not the polished version we hear.
I frequently pass through this part of regents park with my wife. Both being soul heads and lovers of funk we would not casually walk by!
A lot of the people walking by must have been 50+ just not there sound

If i were a famous rapper id hire these guys
I am but a simple man. I see new OMA. I watch, like, and comment.
I imagine if I was walking on my way to work and passed this in the park, this would qualify as a mental health day.
The transition from Regulate to Hypnotize is amazing
Let's face it. ANY transition from Regulate to a different song is good. I'm just gonna say it was Michael McDonald's "I keep forgetting..." because THATS an actual classic and not trash. 😉
Thank you so much from Germany!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
that transition from regulate into hypnotize was smooth as hell
How are these people NOT stopping and gettin’ jiggy with it?!?!??!
i think this "90s its more to late 80's and early "2000's" and i think very suspicious to say "oldschool" to 50cent:?

54 so did I
Full clip just hit hard
OMA rips and this guitar player is in the running for MVP
I'm having the best chill out time on my couch with my border collie jamming to this. You should too
I assume there's a crowd of hundreds behind the camera that is so in awe that they can't cheer or applaud. Fantastic stuff.
Those drums are TIGHT
Hands down favorite is In Da Club because that kids dance moves directly to the camera was the best ever.
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I would seriously pay you guys to play at my wedding. This is so rad!
The song catalog is getting crazy
Superb!👏🏽
Music just does something to my soul, especially live instrumentation.
Why is there no band this lit playing in my local park?, LoL.
Str8 🔥!

yess! you guys are my new work back ground music playlist. all this hits none of the bad language
There is no such thing as "bad language" pickle buffer. Words are just words.
This is what rejuvenates old hip hop for younger people. Giving classics a new outfit while keeping the original dopeness of the songs
Straight fire. I dont know how people walk past and dont sit down .
IN DA CLUB! that was sick.
Dudes, how cool is that? First stumbled onto your ‘James Brown/Funk’ video and was trying to reconcile what I was watching with what I was hearing. Ended up digging both. You’re just 4 very talented musicians having a blast with the different genres and excelling each time. Bravo, gents!
These transitions are sick oh my god
cannot get over how easy the bassist makes his playing look. i honestly initially thought it was faked in some way. naw. he's just been that smooth with it. and then taking a peek at everybody else reveals we might just have a 5-star cast of instrumentalists here. tight as fuckkkk, dudes
The kid at 24 mins feelin it !
I would have stayed and thoroughly enjoyed every second.
The people are too busy to appreciate talent when they see it.
Good lord. I didnt know how much I needed this.
Insanely tight pocket groove drumming. The musicianship of all the players is off the charts and mind-blowing. I love it so say the least.
