Founded in 2009, Voco Novo is one of the most unique A Cappella groups in Taiwan, creating music of their own, as well as digging deeper into the various cultures on the island, which have become the group’s iconic style.
Voco Novo’s picturesque music has won the Gold Diploma for both “pop” and “jazz” categories at the 2012 vokal.total International A Cappella Competition in Austria, and took the “Best Arrangement” with Taiwan’s Hakka song “Under the Tung Blossom Trees”. At the 2013 CARA, Voco Novo’s album won the “Best Asian Album” and the original song, “Across the Milky Way”, which is based on an ancient Chinese poem, was the runner-up for “Best World Music Song”.
In 2015, Voco Novo also took the 2nd prize at the world-renowned a cappella competition in Tampere, Finland. Apart from performing regularly in Taiwan, Voco Novo has often travelled overseas, including Russia, Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Korea, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and the US. Audience from around the world keeps falling in love with the oriental sound this group creates. Voco Novo enjoys creating new A Cappella music with Taiwanese culture and nature scene, to realize the idea of “Voco Novo” (Latin: New Voices). The ideal is to let the audience experience the beauty of Taiwan with a journey where music can be seen, and images can be heard.
