The Moscow Spring A Cappella Festival
Moscow held the A Capella outdoor festival right now. It's awesome!
The Moscow Spring A Cappella Festival is an open international contest for a cappella singers held as part of Moscow Seasons cycle of outdoor events. It's 12 festival days, 195 participants at 51 venues!
I visited several venues, listened to a dozen vocal groups. The festival involves vocal groups from Russia, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Singapore, Spain, Ukraine, USA, Germany, China, Israel, India, Korea, Portugal, Kazakhstan, England, Turkey, Austria, Philippines, Taiwan, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, Namibia, South Africa, Croatia, Sweden, and Finland.
All performers sing without musical accompaniment, this is called A Capella. Some groups have amazing beatboxers who provides musical support with their unique vocal beats.
Here I would like to share a video of one of the songs. Unfortunately, the sound and picture are imperfect, everything is filmed on a mobile phone.
Listen To The Music. The Cat's Pajamas, USA, performance at the Moscow Spring A Cappella Festival:
Each group has a 30-minute performance at one venue, then they moved to another venue, and this venue is captured by another group. And so the whole day.
It's not only a festival but also a competition with a professional jury and large cash prizes. Also, all spectators can vote on the festival website.
Everything is done very professionally. I saw for the first time how sound engineers were working from an iPad, completely independent from a sound mixer. Awesome!
The festival is also visited by many tourists, and a lot is being done by the city administration to make every tourist feel at home. Some information materials and maps you can get absolutely free.
So cool music, so cool vocal groups from all around the world!
