Title: Acapella that doesnt sound like Acapella
Post by: Matthew on March 30, 2022, 06:46:20 AM
This group is vocally amazing.

Before you hit play, just keep in mind: They use ZERO instruments. That includes percussion! All the rich percussion you hear comes from ONE GUY'S MOUTH.

Make sure you listen to the 5th song in the second video: "Santiana". I love the castanet sound -- I guess I'm a sucker for that Spanish rhythm.

Thank you Matthew for posting again the Sea Shanty video. I forgot to download it last time, then forgot about it altogether. :fryingpan: But now I hath it!

Acapella singing is our state sport here in Minnesota, so if they weren't amazing, we'd exile them to (shudder!) Canada. They're an excellent group. Singing one or two to a part like that requires a lot of skill.

Regarding the Sea Shanty Medley --

It's funny, that the guy in the red shirt has Jack Sparrow's bearing/mannerisms completely 100% down, whereas the guy in the middle is actually dressed up as Jack Sparrow but expresses zero of his personality.
