Guerillacapella

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Guerillacapella is a style of a cappella singing focusing on impromptu concerts, typically on a college campus, designed to attract fans that would not normally be found at traditional a cappella concerts. These concerts can be planned in advance and traditional fans are invited to attend.

[edit] History

The performance style is named after Guerrilla Warfare, a method of asymmetric fighting typically categorized by small, mobile groups, which use the element of surprise to ambush their enemies. The George Washington University group emocapella has been most prominently credited with adapting the tactic to musical performances.
