Pomplamoose is a duo from Corte Madera, California, made up by multi-instrumentalists Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte. They’ve been around since 2008 but have only recently blown up all over the internet. You may recognize them from the recent Hyundai holiday ads, where they were featured singing “O Come All Ye Faithful”, “Jingle Bells”, “Deck the Halls” and “Up on the Housetop”. 

So, what the heck is a Pomplamoose, anyway? Well, it’s a derivation of the word pamplemousse, which is French for Grapefruit. 

Pomplamoose uses a new medium called VideoSongs, which has two rules:

1. What you see is what you hear (no lip-syncing for instruments or voice).
2. If you hear it, at some point you see it (no hidden sounds).

A VideoSong makes for a unique viewing and listening experience, as you can see them in their socks playing piano or dancing around making the stomping noises. It gives you a bit deeper of a connection to the music because you get to see them goof off so they almost start to feel like you’re friends. 

Before you check out their YouTube, I must warn you… have some time devoted because you’re gonna get entranced!
