Shades of Yale w/ The Mellow Tones
Shades is one of Yale University's youngest undergraduate a cappella groups. Founded in 1988 to sing music of the African Diaspora and the African-American Tradition, Shades has an incredibly diverse repertoire, ranging from R&B, pop and hip-hop to gospel, soul, jazz, funk and everything in between. Shades has risen to become one of Yale's premiere a cappella groups since the group's inception. Its name stands as a testament to their appreciation of diversity within the group as they celebrate the depth and complexity of the black experience.
As a non-profit co-educational a cappella group with humble roots, Shades has toured both domestically and internationally over the years, going as far as Costa Rica, Ireland, South Africa, Japan, and China. In addition, Shades has sung alongside black music icons such as Lenny Kravitz, Angelique Kidjo, and Sweet Honey in the Rock, and performed for the late Nelson Mandela, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
