The A Cappella Walk
For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to understand why people love a cappella. Heck, even for those of us who do actively enjoy it, it can be difficult to put into words why we enjoy this art form so. While we’ll never have a truly comprehensive list of everything cool about a cappella, 200 Reasons to Love A Cappella is our best attempt at assembling a list of what makes it great.
Reason #92: The A Cappella Walk
You may not know it by name, but I can all but guarantee you’ve seen it. Take a talented vocalist and watch him walk down the street. The odds are you’d never know he’s a singer, much less an a cappella singer just by looking at him in that everyday context. Put a mic in his hand and put those feel on stage, though, and you’ll notice a certain swagger that evolves into a strut. He’s moving to the music, moving with confidence.
No, it doesn’t look quite the same across all soloists; some folks prefer to stand still and some affect a more particular style for their movements on stage. But the walk enough is common enough to have carved a distinct niche in the a cappella culture, and it’s a pleasure to see every time out
I love it!
