A Cappella

A cappella literally translates to “at the chapel” and refers to the style of singing without any instrumental accompaniment. In modern usage, a cappella often refers to an all-vocal performance of any style, including barbershop, doo wop, and modern pop/rock.
Out of Context, lovingly called OoC, is one of the two a cappella groups on campus. Their repertoire includes a lot of non-conformist tunes (hence the name!) as you will discover tonight.
In tonight's program we will be featuring a set of Indian and English songs that have been arranged for a cappella -- these include a fast peppy song with lots of syncopated rhythms sung in the South Indian language of Tamil, a slow lilting melody in Hindi swiftly transforming to a call to action and a jazzy number by Pink Martini.
