About Us
Dhamakapella is Case Western Reserve University's competitive South Asian fusion a cappella group. We perform original arrangements that fuse Western artists, South Asian film and Indian classical music, and genres such as pop, R&B, trap, and dubstep. Since our inception in 2005, we have recorded and produced eight studio albums. Not only does Dhamaka perform at various on and off campus events, but we also compete throughout the country in both the South Asian fusion and ICCA circuits and have won 31 national titles. In 2022, 2023 and 2024, Dhamakapella won first place at the national South Asian fusion a cappella championship, All-American Awaaz. Our group is composed of students from a variety of musical backgrounds, ranging from shower singers to those with classical Indian and Western vocal training. We are united by our love for music and are always excited to recruit new talent, perfect our sound, and share our passion with our listeners! If you are a beatboxer or vocalist of any background, come audition for Dhamakapella in the fall during the first week of school!
