Beatboxers from across the world will amass on Imperial College next month for the first ever Human Beatbox Convention. Beatboxing being, of course, "the art of producing rhythms and beats with the mouth".
Convention organisers explain: "By imitating percussion and other instruments a beatboxer can provide a backing beat for a singer or rapper. However over the years the art-form has developed into something evermore complex. It is constantly evolving, utilising one of the most complex things on earth: the human body."
The Convention will allow beatboxers to "meet, collaborate and learn from each other" offering a programme of talks, showcases and an open mic session where beatboxers can demonstrate their skills.
