Well, you may have heard of, or even be listening to it, what I'm going to talk about today is beatbox. As its name indicates it, it is a kind of vocal percussion mimicking drum machines, creating beats.
One of the most famous beatbox group is berywam, a french group who qualified for the quarter-final of "America's got talents".

Before, the term "beatbox" was used to refer to Roland drum machines such as the CR-78.
