No….it’s called cultural appropriation, and the largest insult is having the “Director” pretend to direct these children to do something that’s encoded in their DNA….don’t forget😳
Lovely, brings to the world the spirit and energy of the Zulus and the diversity of Africa

One thing about Willemse, she will conduct a choir. She used to be my conductor back in 2013/14

There are not enough superlatives to thank this choir for the beauty, precision and strong engagement from every singer. More than a choral performance, it is a teaching moment to other parts of the world that there is beauty and unity in music. Thank you all so much.

Was great to see some white people in there. If you're aggrevated by that comment, that's my point. This video has nothing to do with colour of their skin ffs. Very talented musicians and was great to watch. Stop being divided for the love of god!

@@SteveSalisbury The question you must ask yourself is why someone celebrating their black culture trigger you so much? We should be silent and controlled because you're triggered? Help me understand your anger. This is OBVIOUSLY the sound of Alkebeulan (Africa) yet you're here enjoying it but MONITORING the comments making sure we black people stay in our place. The caucasity of you!
What a beautiful choir and the blending of voices is magnificent you can feel the emotion of song & meaning ❤❤❤.
