The vocal group [[Perpetuum Jazzile]] is comprised of both female and male singers, who perform songs without any instrumental accompaniment and therefore use various techniques, including vocal percussion, to cover all the elements in the music. Conducted by the renowned Swedish singer, arranger, and conductor, Peder Karlsson, the group mostly performs well-known pop songs, Slovene folk music, and gospel songs, which are re-arranged into different musical genres, such as jazz, bossa nova, funk and swing. The group became internationally popular with their performance of the song "Africa" (by Toto) in which the choir uses thunderstorm simulation effects inspired by the Kearsney College Choir from South Africa.
