The Real Group

On Monday we went to a concert of The Real Group, a world-renowned a capella group based in Sweden. It's been around since 1984, and man, they're good! They do mostly jazz songs and their own compositions. It was so much fun to hear them sing! You could tell they were enjoying it as much as we were.
My favorite song they sang was one they arranged. It's a Latvian folk song (which I can't remember the name of) about early morning and a guy losing his horse.
One of the amazing things about The Real Group is that they only have one person on each voice part, but their balance is impeccable. They were constantly listening and adjusting their volume or tone so that the audience knew exactly who had the melody. That kind of balance is hard to achieve, especially when each person is singing something different.
Anyway, it was a great concert! I'm glad I got to see them and experience their copious talent.
