Kollaboration Acoustic 5 focuses on artists using their acoustic assets.  What does this mean? Artists must win over the judges for the title of "Kollaboration Acoustic 5 Champ" using solely their vocals and non-electric instruments, without applying synthesizers or computers for back-up. During the show, the candidates must choose songs that display their natural talent. Their challenge is to out-shine the eight other talented candidates, all of whom survived a rigorous round of competitions in March.  This week, I chose to highlight a video that demonstrates Kollaboration artists and the power of the human vocal range. Check out the male and female singers' remake of Yael Naim's 2008 hit "New Soul" into a beautiful harmony of voices.

An all-acoustic show might not translate powerfully in some venues. Fortunately, the Ford, with its intimate atmosphere, is perfect for this style. After the talent show portion, special guests comedian KT Tamara and singer-songwriter Priscilla Ahn take to the stage to close out a night in celebration of truly authentic talent.
