Beat'achon

Beat'achon

Group.

Beat'achonis the world's premier Jewish A Cappella singing group, bringing a fresh and exciting new sound to the Jewish music scene. Beat'achon's unique blend is part "doo-wop," part pop and rhythm & blues, celebrating traditional Jewish lyrics with a vibrant contemporary musical style. The six-man ensemble combines rich vocal harmonies and catchy rhythms in its repertoire of original compositions and arrangements, ranging from spirited upbeat tunes to soulful ballads.

Beat'achon was formed in 1991 by six boyhood friends who grew up singing and harmonizing together at the Shabbat table. The six midwesterners, transplanted to Manhattan's Upper West Side, decided to prepare a few songs for a neighborhood talent show. They were a hit! The enthusiastic response convinced them there was an audience for their music. Many concert opportunities followed, for which they continued to write and arrange new songs, and in 1993 the group recorded its first album, Beat'achon: Jewish A Cappella. To date Beat'achon has performed extensively in North America in such cities as New York, Chicago, Boston, Miami and Dallas and even as far away as Hong Kong, China, with more cities and countries to come.

Beat'achon concerts have delighted audiences of all ages, across the religious spectrum. The group's live shows are filled with choreography, humor, a contagious enthusiasm and, of course, Beat'achon's trademark six-part harmony. In addition to concerts, Beat'achon performs at community events, institutional dinners and functions, school programs, and other such occasions.

Beat'achon has released three albums: "Beat'achon: Jewish A Cappella," the smash debut, in 1993. The 1998 follow-up, "Soul Food/Ochel Nefesh," set a benchmark in Jewish a cappella recordings. And in the oft-requested, just-released third album, "West Side Z'mirot," Beat'achon sings your favorite traditional Shabbat hymns in lush six part harmony. It's like having Beat'achon at your Shabbat table! All three releases have garnered critical and commercial acclaim and interest continues to grow and the group's reputation spreads.
