Pitch Perfect introduced us to the world of A cappella but there are many more existing groups that are just as good if not better. Here's a list of some aca-awesome A Cappella groups from around the world.
Pentatonix is an American a cappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee. Avi Kaplan was formerly a member of the group; he was replaced by Sallee in 2017.
Home Free is an American a cappella group of five vocalists, Austin Brown, Rob Lundquist, Adam Rupp, Tim Foust, and Adam Chance. Starting as a show group, they toured around 200 shows a year across the United States.
More graduates of The Sing-Off, VoicePlay is a serious contender in the a cappella world. This five-piece ensemble from Orlando can be described as nothing less than hot. With rotating guest singers and a wide vocal range, VoicePlay always hits its mark. Their version of "Wrecking Ball," featuring Sarah Vela, is incredible.
The Voca People is an Israel-based ensemble performing vocal theater combining a cappella and beat box vocals to reproduce the sounds of an entire orchestra.
Gentleman’s Rule is a seven-member male group that sings pop and R & B favorites, with a few surprises — like their versions of "Trap Queen" and "FourFiveSeconds" — as well as their own original music. "The Pachanelly Canon" is the song that put them on the map.
Straight No Chaser (SNC) is a professional a cappella group which originated in 1996 at Indiana University. In 2007, a 1998 video of "The 12 Days of Christmas", went viral with over 8 million views and subsequently led to a five-album record deal with Atlantic Records in 2008.
Naturally 7 is an American music group with a distinct a cappella style they call "vocal play," which, according to group leader Roger Thomas, is "the art of becoming an instrument using the human voice to create the sound."
The Filharmonic, an LA-based a cappella group of Filipino-American youngsters who were featured in NBC'S hit musical competition, The Sing-Off, has much to sing about. The 5-piece vocal group made the semi-finals.
Penn Masala is an American a cappella group. It is the world's first and premier South Asian a cappella group. Formed in 1996 by students at the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Masala's music has been influenced by the Eastern and Western cultures that represent the group's membership.
On the Rocks is the Premiere all-male A Cappella group from the University of Oregon. Since 1999 when Peter Hollens and Leo DaSilva brought modern A Cappella to the west coast, On the Rocks has continued to rise and make music that the public loves.
