A Cappella

There's something about A Cappella, something that makes top my list of favorite genres of music. The art of creating music without musical instruments, relying solely on the primary music making technique, the voice. 

Particularly, University/College A Cappella groups. Young Talent and absolutely fantastic. They're entertaining, fantastic, and give "some" of us the inspiration to continue singing. 

Here are a couple of University based A Cappella Groups you need to check out:

- Penn Masala [University of Pennsylvania]  - http://www.pennmasala.com/ & http://www.youtube.com/user/pennmasala

- Chai-Town [University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign] - http://chaitown.org/ & https://www.youtube.com/user/chaitownUIUC

- The Doo Wop Shop [University of Massachusetts - Amherst] - http://www.umassdoowopshop.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/mikoma77

The thing I like about these A Cappella bands is how they're signature songs are always a "Mashup" of 2 or more songs. Its a different level of creativity. Singing a song is one thing. Finding 2 songs that mash together perfectly and then singing them is something else entirely!

Check them out. Hopefully you'll love them as much as I do!

  1. If you like a capella, then you should watch pitch perfect. It's partly a chick flick, but it's got some really good voices.
