Chili Con Carne - Anders Edenroth (The Vocal Consort)
Chili Con Carne
Composed by Anders Edenroth
Performed on: 20 August 2023
The Vocal Consort Presents: WHA-DA-YA-GET?
Chili Con Carne was originally written for renowned Swedish vocal ensemble The Real Group, of which Edenroth was a founding member. Today, it remains a classic in the contemporary a cappella repertoire and is sung by many groups all over the world. Despite the title, the song’s lyrics are unrelated to the Mexican spicy stew - it instead consists of a playful take on the recipe and scat singing. In this piece, listen out for voices mimicking the sounds of instruments and imitating rhythmic patterns, vocal jazz techniques, and creative vocal effects.
Take some ripe and fresh tomatoes, put them in a bowl with oil.
Add the onions, strong and tasty, on the stove you let it boil.
Choose the finest meat you get from cow or pig, it doesn’t matter.
Beans and jalopeño peppers, necessary is to this.
But don’t forget the Mexican spices, the spices, the heart of the art of the cooking. Oh no!
Don’t forget the Mexican spices, without them you won’t get the flavor of sunshine.
Chili con carne A-ha, let’s make!
Chili con carne A-ha, that’s good!
Eat your chili nice and slowly to prevent a stomachache,
Crisp tortillas on your plate will sound so nicely when they break.
When your mouth gets full of fire you might need something to drink,
One or two or three or four or seven beers will be enough.
But don’t forget the Mexican spices, the spices, the heart of the art of the cooking. Oh no!
Don’t forget the Mexican spices, without them you won’t get the flavor of sunshine.

Good stuff!
Very well done! Beautiful!
Excellent performance in many ways. Congratulations on getting the 'Dilemma Chorus' right - that defeats many companies. However, some of your tempi are woefully slow, some start at a good pace and then seem to be pulled back by the singers which is a pity. Also, did you really need to tell the story before the performance? The diction is generally very good and I'm sure your audience would have been more than able to follow the story, even without those awful surtitles. Overall, however, an excellent performance.
perfect in every detail. many thanks
Whoaa....amazing..so powerful and smooth..
Bravo!
The singers don't suit the song at all.
This is a very good performance. Great pitch, attention to consonants and vowels is exemplary. Amazing what can be done with five voices, more effective than many large ensembles. Clearly high level musicianship here. Congratulations!
This is the best performance of this incredible arrangement on CZcams. I miss performing it dearly and it will always have a special place in my heart.
Keren 👍

My high school is doing a brass choir version of this and its super fun!
Five singers and one conductor - that's funny. ;-)
I actually sang this in concert when it was heard for the very first time. Beautiful piece. Great to hear once again. Having the beautiful ladies hear adds another level to the piece as well. Bravo!!
