Ben Harper - Lorella

I’m going to speak about Ben Harper because I like this singer, I like the way he sings and his voice. His name is Benjamin Chase Harper. He was born on the 28 October 1969 in California USA. He is a singer, guitarist, author and composer.
He started to sing in 1992 and continues today. He plays guitar and the band has a pianist, keyboardplayer, bassguitarist, drumer and percussionist to make alternative rock, folk, rock, blues, gospel and reggae.
He began to play the guitar when he was a child. In1992 he made his first CD (Pleasure and Pain), but he became famous in 1997 with his third CD. So he started with his band “The Innocent Criminals” a world tour. In 1999 he met Jack Johnson, a new singer, and Ben Harper helped him to become famous.
He has a strange way of playing the guitar (slide technique). He puts the guitar on his legs and the strings of the instrument are facing up. He uses a slide bar. That makes an other song. This way of playing comes from the bluesmen, from Mississippi.
He is a very good singer. If you don’t know this man go to listen to his songs. He has made 12 albums and a lot of songs with other singers, for example, Stephen Marley.
Now he is married and has 2 children.
