For anyone who doesn't understand the power bards wield by bringing a lute to a sword fight, this right here is all they need to see.

You inspire yourself and your allies with words or tunes of encouragement. You and all allies in the area gain a +1 status bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and saves against fear effects.

This video is from october 2019 and here is the original song from Víctor Jara.
In october 2019, chilean people begun to protest because of the rise in public transportation costs in Santiago (Chile's capital). The protests quickly expanded to the entire country and lasted till the covid lockdown in March 2020.
Víctor Jara was a chilean folk singer and songwriter tortured and killed during the firsts days of the 1973 coup d'état, which led to a military dictatorship that lasted 17 years. His songs became essential hyms for the regime ressistance and for our cultural history.
P.S: As a chilean I obiusly think is most interesting and meaningful the og video. I tried to be impartial because these topics are still controversial in my country (and because my english is reaaally rusty haha). Anyway, hope you understand my answer!

The fact that these topics are controversial speaks volumes about the state of our country.

We're you expecting there were somehow surround speakers around the camera man, so the sound wouldn't change when he turned the camera away from the speaker?

Or that he is such a great saxophonist that he can imitate a whole drum set with his saxophone.

You could hear other instruments if you replay it and 0 crowd sounds, I had thought it was fake came looking for confirmation. Kinda lame of someone to edit the sound on this one.

This sounds like the intro to an 80s sitcom. And I want to watch it now, but it doesn't exist... I'm defeated.

That's not a saxophonist, that is The Bard.
Feels that frisson running down your spine? Shit does wonders in a fight.

That's from the chilean protests in 2019. The original video helped me understand Chile, its people, its roots and how deep they love his country.
In the original video the song that he's playing is "El derecho de vivir en paz" (The right to live in peace) a song from Victor Jara, a martyr killed in the 1973 coup. Those guys throwing stones are fighting the riot police and holding them back so they don't reach the main protest where, of course, it could cause a bigger disaster.
Among all this mayhem there this sax playing THIS song, what a chad!
