A cappella masterpieces: Recommended songs featuring standout beautiful harmonies [Western & Japanese] (51–60)
Hamabe no utaKraja
Kraja is a four-woman a cappella group from Sweden.
Most of their songs are in Swedish, but since they perform in Japan, they sing part of this song in Japanese.
It’s “Hamabe no Uta.” Even if you don’t understand the Swedish lyrics, their clear, angelic voices and gentle harmonies are deeply moving.
They will be performing in Japan again this year.
AfricaPerpetuum Jazzile
Perpetuum Jazzile is a long-standing choral group founded in Slovenia in 1983.
Their setup features a cappella vocals and vocal percussion.
This song is a classic by the American rock band TOTO, but it is also known for being filled with ambiguous expressions, making the lyrics difficult to interpret.
He Is ChristmasTake 6
This is a song by the American six-member a cappella group Take 6.
As Black artists, they have a distinctive sound with gospel and jazz flavors.
Their vocal ability is outstanding—cool and powerful, yet also gentle and warm—truly wonderful.
They showcase a wide range of vocal expressions.
Personally, I like them a lot.
They’re a highly accomplished, veteran group with multiple Grammy wins and have even been invited to perform at the White House.
Alone Again(Naturally)West Coast All Stars
It is an a cappella group formed by four members including former TOTO’s Bobby Kimball.
They basically do not use instruments and attempt covers of famous songs with four-part vocals.
This song is a hit by the Irish singer-songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan.
Don’t Worry Be HappyBobby McFerrin
Bobby McFerrin is an American jazz singer.
Alongside artists like Al Jarreau, he is known for his instrumental-style vocal techniques.
He sometimes adds variation to his singing by tapping his chest or cheeks while performing.
This song was created by overdubbing all parts—including rhythm and bass—using only his voice, and it reached number one on the U.S.
charts.
