The opening as it read in 2015

Voca People ( ) are an Israel -based ensemble performing vocal theater combining a cappella and beat box vocals to reproduce the sounds of an entire orchestra. They have performed in Spain, New York, Hungary, Italy, France, England, Israel and many other places.1 They incorporate the public into their songs and change or add bits depending on which country they are in (e.g. If they were in Spain they would perform songs in Spanish and incorporate the Spanish public into their performance.) The creators, Lior Kalfon and Shai Fishman envisioned a group of performers dressed completely in white with red lips.2 The Voca People claim to come from the Planet Voca (somewhere behind the sun ) where all communication is based on music and vocal expressions. They float around in space in their ship, which is powered by nothing more than music, and arrived on Earth which has a great repertoire of music. Their motto is: "Life is music and music is life." In Italy they became famous through a clip on YouTube, which had over 15 million hits in less than one year, and a series of television appearances. Their first appearance in an Italian TV show was Ale e Franz on 28 September 2009. Later they also appeared on Domenica In and the Italian X Factor . The Voca People sometimes mingle with crowds, singing, improvising and playing with passers-by. Their appearance and performances have been compared to Blue Man Group . In 2010 they brought their show to Italy with stops in Rome , Bari , Milan , Florence , Padua , Naples and Turin . They returned in February 2011 to Aosta .3
