Wella It's A Capella

Scientific research has shown that singing may have been the primary form of        communication for early humans before the invention of language.  Singing without the aid of instrumentation is referred to as a capella - from pre renaissance Italian and it  literally means — “ in the style of the chapel “. The term is used to describe both vocal groups and soloists alike and although it refers to singing without accompanying instrumentation, a cappella often features some form of simple percussion to help keep the beat.

This is Acoustic Avenue. I'm Ted Crowe, your host with co-producer Joel Little. We respectfully acknowledge that we live, work, and make our music on the traditional lands of the Sequen Nation, who have cared for their territory within Turtle Island since time immemorial, and continue to do so today. Scientific research has shown that singing may have been the primary form of communication for early humans before the invention of language. Singing without the aid of instrumentation is referred to as capella from pre-Renaissance Italian, and it literally means in the style of the channel. The term is used to describe both vocal groups and soloism. And although it refers to singing without accompanying instrumentation, the capella often features some form of simple progression. And the string bass accordingly.
