The cdza 'Pianists in Paris' video is a brilliant concoction of theatrics and talent that follows on the astronomically popular masterpiece -- a five-person-one-guitar cover of 'Somebody's I Used To Know' by Walk Off The Earth.

Historically, creative musical performances have had very good chances of going viral on [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viral-ideas) (it seems the public never ceases to tire of joint-effort created sounds). This video features an instrumental rendition of Jay-Z's 'Nigg*s in Paris,' with six men finding ways to make use of a [single piano](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-and-stone-piano-v2). The 'cdza' channel rolls out a new video every fortnight, featuring novel performances each time, like the hilarious 'Zuckerberg: The Musical,' in similar fashion to Walk Off The Earth.

With a hot song, killer musicians and a cool concept, this is the perfect recipe for a [viral video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/creatify-20).
