SoVoSó is a highly imaginative a cappella ensemble that sings a unique, rhythmic mix of jazz, gospel, world and R&B music, all rendered in their trademark improvisational style.The SoVoSó repertoire consists of original compositions and other songs that present a global perspective, from Afro-Latin idioms to traditional jazz choral arrangements. Founding SoVoSó member David Worm are alumni of Bobby McFerrin's original a cappella group, Voicestra, who recently began touring with McFerrin again. In 1995 Sunshine Becker joined the band; followed by Bryan Dyer, and most recently, Zoë Ellis and Sam Rogers. As SoVoSó ("from the Soul to the Voice to the Song"), the ensemble has continued to pioneer new horizons in contemporary vocal performance, bringing traditional world rhythms into the 21st century. According to the San Jose Mercury News, "The extraordinary richness and brilliance of this virtuoso vocalism lifts you into a special realm."
