Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion which primarily involves the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, voice, and more. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. Beatboxing is connected with hip hop culture although it is not limited to hip hop music.
A really nice example of Beatboxing:

A happy note! :)
I choose to start my blogging life with one of my fav track: "Don't Worry Be Happy", and its creator Bobby McFerrin.
The track was released in September 1988, when I was just 6 years old and just started developing my unconscious inclination towards Music.
The lovely track by Bobby became the first a cappella song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a position it held for two weeks. On the UK Singles Chart, the song reached number 2 during its fifth week on the chart. At the 1989 Grammy Awards, "Don't Worry Be Happy" won the awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. The song's title is taken from a famous quote by Meher Baba, an Indian mystic and sage (1894-1969) who used to frequently tell this the people he met.
The original music video stars Robin Williams and Bill Irwin.
The "instrumentals" in the a cappella song are entirely overdubbed voice parts and other sounds made by McFerrin, using no instruments at all.
for people who haven't heared the track, please find a link below of the best quality video i could get my hands on:

So it was more than Music for me...it was a universe inside a universe to explore a capella music.
