About: Rockapella

An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Rockapella is an American a cappella musical group formed in 1986 in New York City. The group's name is an amalgam of "rock" and "a cappella". Rockapella sings original vocal music and a cappella covers of pop and rock songs; and over time, their sound has evolved from high-energy pop and world music toward a more R&B-style sound. Rockapella initially found their biggest success in Japan throughout their career. They are also known for their role as a vocal house band and resident comedy troupe on the PBS children's geography game show Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?, based on the educational computer game of the same name developed and published by Broderbund.

dbo:abstract
  • Rockapella ist eine aus 5 Musikern bestehende A-cappella-Gruppe. In den USA sind sie vor allem durch ihre musikalische Untermalung der " Coffee"-Werbungen und dem Titelsong zu Carmen Sandiego bekannt geworden. Der Slogan „All Sounds provided by the voices and appendages of Rockapella“ (auf deutsch: Alle Klänge werden von den Stimmen und Anhängseln von Rockapella bereitgestellt) stellt eine der zentralen Ideen der Gruppe dar und erscheint auf dem Cover des Albums Don't Tell Me You Do. Der Spruch ist eine Anspielung auf die oftmals in Disclaimern erscheinenden Datenschutzrichtlinien. Weiterhin veröffentlichten Rockapella viele gecoverte Versionen von Pop- und Rocksongs. (de)
