Choirs I now do most of my singing in the pews at church on Sundays. I have now not been at church for over a year because of COVID-19 and I am 83 years old. Two months ago I discovered this choir on You Tube. I now listen to it every year night before going to bed What wonderful music. Cheers from Ottawa Canada. Love

I just discovered this magnificent choir, which I saw is deservedly number 1 in the world. I'm here from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I discovered South Africa when I was 12 years old in 1982, it was another reality, and I've been following the country's historical evolution, very happy with everything they have achieved and produced. And this beautiful choir is a beautiful legacy for our increasingly complicated world. Congratulations on this talented work and the message of unity you convey!! I hope to be lucky enough to see you performing here in Brazil, because Brazilians need this message from you!!

This is extraordinary for a number of reasons: Stellenbosch University was, for most of its history, an Afrikaans and historically white university (meaning it did not allow black people as students during apartheid). This choir is singing songs that would have been banned during apartheid, particularly song 2 is an anti apartheid protest or "struggle" song. And the songs are in languages (isiXhosa and isiZulu) that are not native to a big chunk of the choristers, one assumes. Just amazing...

@@emptycell I said that it is "in this choir", which was virtually all white not so many years ago. I intentionally did not say the SA has gotten to Mandela's dream. The Rainbow Nation exists as a dream, a hope, for most South Africans, not a reaity yet. There is still too much racial separation, too much grinding poverty among most blacks, and many divisions and problems.

You are amazing and inspirational. Your musicality is first rate and selection of music wonderfully appropriate. Your performances of Baba Yetu, Die Donker and African gospel music leave me wanting more. You have an extraordinary director who is remarkable and professional with his connection with each member of the choir. I think of you along with other South Africans--Nelson Mandela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Miriam Makaba, Nadine Gordimer, Trevor Noah, Hugh Masakea, and honorary South African Paul Simon. As an American (Seattle), you give me great hope for the future that it is possible to overcome racism and political strife even in the USA.
