The latest sensation on the internet seems to be coming in a musical format, and that is that the musical group Maytree is raising the eyebrows of all those who come across one of their videos uploaded to YouTube. And don't think this is new. Maytree has an extensive stage career, however it seems that fame has now come to them with their videos.

Mimicking iPhone Ringtones

Marimba is undoubtedly one of the most famous ringtones in history. Since Apple included it in its iPhone, there are many who are able to recognize the melody on the streets. The funny thing is that, given the expansion of the Apple phone, other tones included in the system are also easily recognizable, and that is just what Maytree wanted to demonstrate with one of her latest video performances.

With more than 1 million views in less than a week, the video is spreading at breakneck speed on the internet, because it has everything a viral video needs: it's short, surprising and engaging.

The result, as you can see, is amazing, since they manage to perfectly imitate each and every one of the tones that we can find on the iPhone. In addition to the fidelity of the marimba, they are capable of replicating the sound that is played when connecting the charging cable and even the screen lock.

success is slow to come

If after watching the video you think that it is enough to upload a crap video to achieve success, relax. MayTree's official account has been uploading performance videos and other a cappella demos just as flashy as the iPhone ringtone video for six years now, clearly demonstrating that success on YouTube requires persistence, work, sacrifice and a touch of luck.

Possibly the video that has led them to success has been that of the sound effects of Windows, a video published in January and of which The Verge echoed at the time. This video, which also has one million views, once again surprises us with the incredible fidelity of some of the sounds and melodies that can be found in the different versions of Windows.

Three weeks after its publication, the group continues to add views, and they are already a phenomenon on the internet thanks to two of their latest videos. But don't limit yourself to those two, you can take a look at his channel and find some amazing ones like these:
