#9 – Akim Camara
The music world has definitely heard the name Akim Camara. But what about the rest of us? Maybe the name doesn’t ring a bell, but his face surely does. Akim is that sweet toddler who played on the same stage with Andre Rieu a few years back.
Oh, now you remember? Yes, Akim did have the honor to perform next to the great violinist, but what most people don’t know is that Rieu wanted it, not Akim. Andre Rieu was contacted by the child’s violin teacher, who sent him a video of Akim’s first public performance, after only 6 months of learning.
The maestro was so impressed with his natural talent and ability to memorize any piece he hears after 1 or 2 audition and to replicate it as well, that he took the young talent under his protection. From normal school to concerts all over the world, Akim is guided and protected not only by his parents and family, but also by one of the greatest talents in the world right now. talk about luck? What about hard work?
