Being African is not defined by the colour of your skin. Its defined by your soul. We South Africans learnt that a long time ago.

I started watching this performance in a rather skewed frame of mind. I thought, "What? ZULU choir with so many white faces?" 30 seconds in, and I was hooked. The harmonies, the sheer joy and exuberance made me stop and consider my unconscious bias. Bravo, one and all.

African music goes with drama, dance, drums etc. So is African drama can not be complete without music. See the amazing thing they did with clapping of hands and the white boots. African music is lit. Broadway and West End are you feeling us?

That's ridiculous beautiful. See how harmonious things are when we unite our efforts with each other. A very pure harmony. Love it. Great work .. God bless.
