Do you know anything about barbershop music. I mean what type of music is it?
hi, yes i know about this music style. It's a style of a cappella close harmony or unaccompanied vocal music
What is cappella? Never heard of it?
a capella is solo music singing without instrumental accompaniment
Did it originate in a barbershop?
no a capella existed before that but barbershop vocal harmony kind of revived this music style. it happened suring 1930s
Okay thats interesting but I can't get around the name. Why is it called barbershop? Is there any significance to the name?
because this style of music was generally performed by either a barbershop quartet or a barbershop chorus  :)
