Syncopasian promotes the awareness of Asian pop culture at MIT and the surrounding community through performances of Asian a cappella music. Unlike other a cappella groups on campus, our repertoire includes songs in not only English, but also Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages that are East Asian in origin. Syncopasian was founded by Kenny Yan (‘08) in the Spring of 2008, with 16 original members. Syncopasian today, an ASA-recognized student group, is 17 members strong.
