No one could have guessed that a music style that has its roots in barbershop quartets would have a crowd of college kids on their feet yelling and screaming for an encore. A Cappella performers and vocal bands have been on the rise in popularity with their outrageous human beat-boxes and deep, bass vocals that shake the foundation of the musical world.
"I like the challenge of putting together a song like 'Circle of Life' without any instrumentation, and I think that maybe people who don't sing or just listen don't realize how much practice it takes to cover all the aspects from the bass to the soprano to the drums," founder of UAA's A Capella group AK Chill, Kyle Pan said.
