  1:15   A cappella Showcase: The Bostonians and The Heightsmen

The Bostonians are BC's oldest a cappella group. For twenty-one crazy years, they've been making music, traveling from coast to coast, and having a whole lot of fun along the way. Their classic co-ed sound has been heard from Mexico to Montreal and on eight studio recorded albums. Sit back, relax and enjoy their unique brand of modern a cappella.

The Heightsmen is Boston College's only all-male a cappella group - dedicated to musical excellence and brotherhood. Founded in 1990, they have established themselves as a prominent musical group on the BC campus, while maintaining a diverse musical repertoire and entertaining fans throughout the world.

This small choral group is based on the Fisk Jubilee Singers, a group of nine men and women who were former slaves or children of slaves and began singing together at Fisk University in Nashville during the late 19th century. The original Fisk Jubilee Singers are credited with first introducing African music in America, and Professor Hubert Walters (Director of Voices of Imani) has assembled this group as a contemporary remembrance of this very old tradition.
