Shlomo & The Vocal Orchestra

Outdoor Theatre

Saturday 18th July, 2009
16:30 - 17:30

One of the world’s leading beatboxers, Shlomo has worked for years to push the boundaries of beatboxing as an art form. This man’s mouth makes mad, mad music. Shlomo has used these incredible vocal skills to make music with people from all kinds of musical backgrounds, including the Mighty Boosh, Björk, Martha Wainwright, Damon Albarn, Jarvis Cocker and Bill Bailey.

The current resident artist at the Southbank Centre together with other seven incredible musicians form the fabulous Shlomo & The Vocal Orchestra, the world’s only Beatbox Choir, a jaw-dropping show that will leave you stunned by the abilities of human voice.

By 2007, Shlomo was ready for a new challenge. He had been asked to curate the International Beatbox Convention at the London Southbank Centre, and could not find a headline act that could appeal to the public as well as the beatboxing community. So he decided to create a new act instead. He put together a 13 piece beatboxing choir called ‘Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra’ to headline the convention.buy
