BeatBoX

Beatbox is cool. Have you tried listening to a person performing a beatbox before? Of course, it is not that famous or well known in our region due to the lack of artist or lack of exposure. But, in America and Europe, the exposure is there. Beatbox even have their own dedicated website at www.beatbox.be

To break it down to simple layman terms, beatbox or "beatboxing" is a form of vocal percussion linked to hip hop culture. The artist will use his/her vocal to create tones and beats that is has hip hop tunes that consists of bass, electronica, turntables and other musical instruments such as guitar and drums.

You will be astounded with their ability to make sounds from their vocal cords. I was shocked. But, be amazed. Check out at wikipedia for more information on
beatboxing. Of course, in a long term, we do not know whether is stream or genre will be classified into music, but nevertheless enjoy the beat of beatbox!
