Introduction
In Europe and America, A Cappella vocal band is one of the most popular form of chorus. Almost every college have A Cappella groups. And this trend has influenced many high schools gradually.
The Public Bath House Vocal Group is such an A cappella singing group recognized as the honor of Taiwan. Its group leader Sub-Yong Cai had his first contact with A Cappella in senior high, and was fascinated by its charm. To pursue his own dream, he, along with some passionate friends, founded the “Public Bath House Vocal Group” in 2007.
The name of this group originated in one time when they were recording, the echo effects were very strong. Then a schoolmate of the chorus couldn’t help but ask “You guys were not recording in the toilet, right? How could the echo effects be that strong?” Such a statement inspired the members of the group about their name, but it seems to be a little improper to name the group “Toilet.” So after some discussion, they finally named the team “The Public Bath House Vocal Group.”
Whether in Taiwan or overseas, they have won lots of awards. For example, in 2008,they won the championship of Taiwan International Quartet Competition, and in 2009,they represented Taiwan to participate in the Graz International Comtemporary A Cappella Competition, and defeated many excellent A Cappella teams from all over the world and won the championship again. After coming back to Taiwan, they devote themselves to A Cappella’s promotion and performances. The Public Bath House Vocal Group is one of the most outstanding A Cappella teams in Taiwan and around the world now.
I really like their vocal sounds, because they are truly original human vocals that no music instruments can replace. When listening to their songs, I will feel touched from the bottom of my heart. The impact of A Cappella are really magical! I wish I could form a group like them in the future, and become the next honor of Taiwan to be recognized in the foreign countries. That’s why I choose this group as my hero. Their positive attitude toward A Cappella makes them shine!
