A Capella....Music at its best...!!!

Any Music Lovers??? : ) This is just amazing. I am sure, many of you are familiar with the A Capella Style of Music....But, when I first heard about it, was totally convinced of the fact that music really has no restrictions and limitations. The more soul and spirit you put into it, the more sweeter it is!! A Capella is a very old concept hat originated in 19th century. "A Capella" in Italian means "at the chapel" or in Latin it means "from the chapel or a choir". It is a very innovative and old concept where in all the instruments are vocalized! By that I mean, it is all-vocal performance. Traditionally, A Capella is used in religious music, specially Church Music; it was differentiated from different other forms of music such as Baroque. Now-a-days, it is used by various musical groups to demonstrate the modern music in this innovative way. A Capella concept started becoming really popular in Midwest of United States around 1911; with which many recording artists started recording atleast one of their songs in A Capella format. The "Nutmegs" a popular 1950s music group was known as the "Rajahs of A Capella". Now-a-days, many university students proudly start an A Capella group on campus showcasing their Musical talents. Some of the very successful groups started are the Whiffenpoofs of Yale University, Penn Masala at University of Pennsylvania having a Hindi-English A Capella. The one thing, I really like about A Capella is that, you have full freedom on how you can vocalize the instrumental music pieces; there is no specific way to vocalize an instrument, anyone who has a musical ear, can do it. So, you have a great chance to express your talent. And finally how can I forget the amazing A Capella Group on Univeristy of Maryland campus: ANOKHA
