Party in his mouth

Killa Kela, one of the foremost practitioners of beatboxing from London, is set to hit Beijing and Shanghai early next month.

Dyed-in-the-wool rock fans might argue that electronic music is an imitation of the real thing. A collection of bleeps and beats spat out by machines devoid of the requisite emotions inherent only in real music. But what would these Rockists say about a performer who imitates electronic music using his mouth and microphone alone?

Introducing Killa Kela, lauded as one of the foremost practitioners of beatboxing, which essentially means to make beats and copy the sounds of instruments by spluttering into a microphone. Kind of like a virtuoso entertainer but not in the way that Leo Sayer envisioned when he wrote the song One Man Band. Think more in terms of, there's a party in his mouth and everyone's invited.

Still, any ordinary Joe Blow with breath in their lungs can make drums noises - admittedly, some with more rhythm than others.
