The Association of South-Asian A Cappella (ASA) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to championing the unique fusion musical genre of South Asian A Cappella – what we love to refer to as Desi meets Pitch Perfect – a young art form we see as the perfect blend of our South Asian heritage and the Western culture we live around. Since its inception, ASA has been a cornerstone of the collegiate South Asian music landscape in the United States. We work tirelessly to provide resources, foster community, and serve as a platform where this art form can thrive.
