'Ukuthula' performed by FSOF, NCC, and Orange County students

The Festival Singers of Florida, the Nairobi Chamber Chorus, and the Students of Orange County perform Ukuthula by Andre van der Merwe

[@jasonjohnson3589]

Listen, I'm from South Africa and a few years back every morning on my way to work, a group of Xhosa ladies would board the train and start singing the paint of the walls. South African women can blow like volcanoes. You will find some of the greatest talents on this planet in the poorest South African towns. Come to our farming town, the Cape Flats, the Townships, our people sang. Full chest, flat-footed, power.

God bless South Africa...

[@richardlogan1021]

Just how much do we owe South Africa, and its indigenous peoples, for so much of the world's most beautiful music?? Immeasurable.

[@sithembisangwenya7032]

Thanks that's very thoughtful of you

[@lechat8533]

@Richard Logan Amen!

[@alankruza997]

Beautiful! South Africa produces so much wonderful music, musicians, and singers. It sounds like Kenya does pretty well, too. This young Kenyan soloist is singing from her heart, so beautifully. Asanteni nyote.

[@tshephobodiba9576]

Thank you for doing justice to such a beautiful South African song! You sang it with grace and poise. With the due respect it deserves. Can't fault you in any way! Pronouciation on point. I thought it was a South African choir initially. Salute!

In this broken world of trouble, the Blood of Jesus Christ flowed so that you could have peace. In this broken world of trouble, the Blood of Jesus Christ flowed so that you could have redemption. In this broken world of trouble, the Blood of Jesus Christ flowed so that you could praise Him. In this broken world of trouble, the Blood of Jesus Christ flowed so that you could have faith. In this broken world of trouble, the Blood of Jesus Christ flowed so that you could have victory. In this broken world of trouble, the Blood of Jesus Christ flowed so that you could have comfort.
