A cappella is a vocal music genre performed without instrumental accompaniment, showcasing the pure harmonies, rhythms, and textures of the human voice. It spans various styles, from intricate beatboxing and vocal percussion (Afra, SHOW-GO) to classical and choral traditions (Forestella, Cor Meibion Llanelli Male Voice Choir). Some artists emphasize contemporary pop arrangements (The Bass Gang, The Sparklettes), while others explore niche styles like football chants (Arsenal FanChants) or Jewish religious music (Simcha Leiner). A cappella can be deeply expressive or playful, relying on vocal skill, tight harmonies, and innovation to create rich, full-bodied soundscapes.
