beatboxers
Mouth music makers
Beatboxers are performers who create rhythmic sounds, drum patterns, and music using only their mouth, lips, tongue, and voice.
The art form emerged from hip-hop culture, where beatboxers provided backing rhythms for rappers without instruments.
The beatboxers in the competition layered bass, snare, and hi-hat sounds simultaneously.
