RoBeat Vs. Mando @ 5th German Beatbox Battle - Final Round

Modern beatboxing

Beatboxing's current popularity is thanks in part to the likes of artists like Rahzel, Kenny Muhammad,and Matisyahu who have promoted the art form across the world. It's also thanks largely to websites such as Humanbeatbox.com, and YouTube where many beatboxing videos have several million hits.

In 2005 the world championship of beatboxing was organised in Leipzig, Germany. The participants came from all over the world, and included Tom Thumb, and Joel Turner (Australia), White Noise (Ireland), Roxorloops (Belgium), Poizunus (Canada), Faith SFX (UK). After several heats of beatbox battles, the final between Roxorloops (Belgium) and Joel Turner (Australia) was decided. The five judges had a difficult time picking a winner and called for an extra round after which Joel Turner won the world championship.
