a capella
Last updated:
Description
A capella refers to vocal music performed without instrumental accompaniment, where singers create all sounds using only their voices. This tradition spans from sacred choral works and barbershop quartets to contemporary pop arrangements, showcasing human vocal versatility across cultures. Performers often layer harmonies, create percussive effects through beatboxing, and mimic instruments to produce rich, full soundscapes.
