Track Talk: “Prince Ali” by DCappella

There are a few ways to change the game. One option is to find a magic lamp and summon a genie: a big blue friend who can flash and make dreams come true. Another is to take a tried-and-true musical form like a cappella and marry it to cutting-edge technology from Roland. The result could be sounds no one’s ever heard before. The latter is what composer Deke Sharon, singer Antonio Fernandez, and the members of Disney a cappella group, DCappella, accomplished. They created a dubstep rendition of the timeless Disney song, “Prince Ali,” from the 1992 animated classic Aladdin.
