| Pinopela |
PINOPELA is an alumni group of the
internationally acclaimed choral group, Saint Louis University Glee Club and
was originally formed for the singular purpose of competing in the Akapela
Open, but since placing second in 2013 and further after winning the
championship in 2014, the group has evolved into a true professional. Pinopela
began accepting invitations to perform at various functions after their warm
reception at the Akapela Open 2013, and has since then wowed innumerable
audiences previously unacquainted to contemporary a capella. The group opened
the Myx Mo 2015 anniversary concert at the MOA concert grounds, that became one
of the concert highlights, with an all a cappella opm number with some of the
country’s biggest stars ! The group’s lone female beatbox also bagged the
Mossimo Music Summit 2015 title last year. This year, Pinopela qualified for
two international a cappella competitions and will battle head on with other
international groups.
