LA LA LAND A Cappella Medley Will Transport You to the City of Stars

The logistics of pulling off a huge, impromptu musical number, especially one comprised of hundreds of idling motorists on a freeway in Los Angeles, are nearly impossible to count. However, they lessen considerably if you can do it without the need for any instruments, like this a cappella group proved with this fantastic La La Land medley.

Viva Vox, a self-described “metal/pop/rock a cappella choir from Serbia,” tackled the Hollywood blockbuster musical with an aca-awesome rendition of some of the movie’s most memorable tunes, including “Mia & Sebastian’s Theme,” “Another Day of Sun,” the Oscar-winning “City of Stars,” and “Someone in the Crowd.” The accompanying video is equally as impressive and fitting for the film.

Am I the only one who seems to like the music from the movie more and more every time I hear another take on it? That’s not a knock on La La Land nor Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, but a compliment to the songs themselves, which grow richer the more I hear different versions or singers cover them.

Like when John Legend, who had a supporting role in the film, gave a gorgeous performance of the movie’s two Oscar-nominated tracks at this year’s Academy Awards.

Of course, he had rehearsal time and trained dancers for that performance. There’s no way he would have been able to do that on a freeway.

Where would you even put the piano?
