<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 21, 2011) Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, TAUNY, organized a couple of caroling parties again this month in Canton.  Songs celebrating midwinter, the solstice and Christmas have been sung for centuries.   Caroling, or groups of singers moving from house to house during the Holidays, probably began in England, France and Germany in the 15th century.    But, what motivates people to bundle-up and sing outdoors in December today?    Todd Moe talks with Traditional Arts in Upstate New York staff folklorist Hannah Harvester, who has studied the history and evolution of caroling.

<title>Got spit? The art of vocal percussion</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15427/20100326/got-spit-the-art-of-vocal-percussion</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 26, 2010) No doubt, we’ve all tried making rhythms and sound effects using the mouth and voice, at one time or another. Some people have made vocal percussion into an art-form. It’s entered the music world in the form of “beat box”, the art of making drum beats, cymbal crashes and other sound effects using one’s mouth, lips, tongue and voice.  “Beat boxing” is an element of “hip hop” that originated in the early 80&apos;s. Today, it’s making a comeback in college and professional a cappella groups to accompany their pop music.  One of the vocal percussionists with SUNY-Potsdam’s all male group, the “Pointercounts”, is today’s Heard up North.
