Finals are here, and what better way to de-stress than with a medley of pop songs performed by some of Boston University’s best a cappella groups? A cappella, which means “in the manner of the chapel,” is a term first used to describe church music composed for unaccompanied voices, and now refers to any vocal music performed without instruments.

In our first installment, the Allegrettos perform Paramore’s “crushcrushcrush.”
