The Pentatonic Scale

From Wikipedia:

A pentatonic scale is a musical scale with five pitches per octave in contrast to a heptatonic (seven note) scale such as the major scale. Pentatonic scales are very common and are found all over the world...

Here, Bobby McFerrin (yes, THAT Bobby McFerrin) demonstrates the power of this simple five note scale with audiences from around the world.
