“Soul Bossa Nova”

Did you notice those a capella whirlwinds between scenes on practically the biggest show on TV right now, Glee?  The international a capella group, The Swingles Singers, are featured throughout this season with songs such as  “Flight of the Bumblebee”, “Soul Bossa Nova”, “Golliwog’s Cakewalk”, “A Fifth of Beethoven” and “Moonlight Sonata”.

The Swingle Singers are an international a cappella phenomenon. For over four decades, the unmistakable sound of “Swingle singing” has defined the art form: virtuosic vocal agility and blend demonstrated by their signature close-microphone technique, combined with high-level entertainment that has thrilled audiences around the globe. The latest lineup of young and talented voices represents the group’s transformation from pioneering classical/jazz crossover artists to contemporary vocal super-group. Their repertoire encompasses classical, jazz, Latin, pop and rock, all accompanied by their own vocal rhythm section. The Swingle Singers have performed all across the UK, America, Asia, and virtually every country in Europe, have released over 50 recordings, and have won five Grammy Awards.
