About

All the sounds on this recording are made by the human voice or parts of the human body!

The Swingle Singers are an international a cappella phenomenon. Originally formed by American Ward Swingle in the 1960s' heyday of swung Baroque (their groundbreaking debut album Jazz Sebastian Bach in 1963 won the first of the group's Grammy Awards), the current group has transformed into a contemporary vocal ensemble whose repertoire and influences encompass classical, jazz, latin, pop, rock, and most recently, beatboxing. 'Swingle Singing' has now come to represent the Swingle Singers' unmistakable sound; incredible vocal virtuosity, blend and agility; the intimate, close-microphone technique; the quasi-instrumental sound; and the high level of entertainment the shows always bring to their audiences across the globe.This album is the first Swingle Singers disc where every track contains vocal percussion or human beatboxing, not just as a component in the sound but more as a real feature to the arrangement.

Shlomo is one of the world's finest human beatboxers, meaning he has the ability to create entire songs using only his vocal chords and recently featured on Bjork's a cappella album Medulla.
