My daughter and I have been listening to a lot of a cappella music lately. Apart from choirs, we like small ensembles of about five or six members.
We love singing. We are fascinated with how the human voice alone can produce such harmonies. My five year old sees and hears me teach voice so she imitates when we vocalize or sing. She likes a cappella acts who does covers of pop songs like Cimorelli and Pentatonix. I let her listen to these great groups like The CompanY, Swingle Singers or King’s Singers, and she appreciates them as well.
Our recent discovery is from our own country, and they have given pride already by winning top prizes both here and abroad.
Their name sounds familiar? It’s a good nameplay of a cappella (what their music is) and archipelago (what our country’s structure is like). They’ve won the 2013 Akapela Open presented by One Meralco Foundation and PLDT-Smart Foundation. Two months ago, they won the Gold Award and was declared champion in the International Category of the 2015 A Capella Championships held in Singapore.
They will be back to Singapore on October for the International A Cappella Festival. Get your tickets for their October 31 concert on this link.
Check this sample video on their page and listen to them. They like Pentatonix, too!
Want to hear more from them? You can, too! They are set to perform this Sunday at Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna.
