• Amazing Beatboxer and vocalist! The New York Times says: "Bobby McFerrin is an accomplished musician who burst onto the a cappella world in the ...80's. Often appearing alone on stage, Mr. McFerrin sang multiple parts in a cappella renditions of popular and original songs. If a rhythm was needed, he produced it with his voice or his body...... He started making people aware of what you could do with one voice and one body..... He pointed to a new direction for vocal music, so people started listening with a fresh set of ears."
