Beatbox, one of my hobbies

 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". 

Beatbox fundamentally began in New York City in conjunction with the birth of the hip-hop subculture which allowed artists to emulates drum machines.
Before, the term "beatbox" was used to refer to Roland drum machines such as the CR-78.

CR-78:




But its meaning changed drastly over the years.
