The Voca People is an international vocal theater performance that combines vocal sounds and an acapella singing with the art of modern beat-box. All vocals – no instruments.
They’re very clever but I prefer “Idea of North” … here’s a YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ1MEJaye_8
They’re amazing … and there’s only 4 of them.
Love’d Maffu’s comment!
When it comes to amazing voice control, there is only one person to watch; Bobby McFerrin.
Forget about “Don’t Worry , Be Happy”, his other stuff is just amazing and the control he has over his voice is nothing short of terrifying. Take this clip for example – funky as knock me sideways, and at a couple of points he manages to sing harmonies with himself. We are not worthy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtXrKo8Btfc
@DJ Yup – that was pretty much my reaction when I first saw that ‘Drive’ clip, followed by a lengthy YouTube session finding everything I could by him. He’s definitely in a league of his own.
Maffu, thanks for the pointer to those vids. Like DJ, I had no idea McFerrin was anything but a one-hit wonder. I feel like I’ve been living in a cave not to have heard any of that stuff before…
Impressive. Why are they trying to be so white?
It would be more watchable if they didn’t look like over-enthusiastic condoms.
lol @ maffu
blue was taken and any other color would be raciest.
I almost stopped it, but then started to enjoy it, because of the musical timeline and clever use of voices to imitate instruments.

Effluvium – Not TOO amazing…they forgot ALL the words, except “Bob”. Who’s Bob?

Good grief.
