@@rangahy7751 Is it because it might be the most beautiful music ever?
It's very beautiful. You might be interested in the one sang by University of Pretoria. It's also on TH-cam
I'm watching this for the 1st time amazing 2024 God is good
Indodana is as great a choral masterpiece as any other in the world. And this is as masterful and beautiful a choral performance as you will ever hear, and it shows as clearly as anything why Stellenbosch is the world's greatest choir. By the way, my brother died very peacefully only hours after I posted below. Indodana was on repeat. Thank you Maties.
I feel you 😪
So so sorry.God bless.HE US IN SAFE HANDS
Wow, so sorry about your loss Richard. I read your comment about your brother being in ICU and was so hopeful that he'd make it.🥺❤
So sorry about his demise. May he sing on with the angels🤍
Sorry for your loss. It must have been a comfort to you to see he went peacefully and hope this helped him and the family
Is this not the South Africa that we all dream of :)
in every sense
IT IS

SA is great. I know it. It has an energy. That energy is its people. I see it. It is emerging. In fact, it's already there. Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika.
Dean Berzen DEFINITELY WHAT WE NEED
Definitely
I am playing this for my terminally ill brother, in the ICU at Lahey Medical Center, Burlington, MA. Reason is simply that he deserves to hear the most beautiful and comforting thing on this earth in his last hours here.
How is he?
That's so sad
My heart reaches out to you, Richard, wherever and however you are, as I listen to this for the first time, just now. May your brother be resting peacefully and painlessly now, and your heart and mind be eased and comforted. May you be well. 💗
I'm in tears right now may one day my heart will be healed this song make my heart miss all those who leave me in this without saying any word and decided to go to heaven 😭😭😭
Wow. Speechless
In 2020 I'm still watching this 💖
lol me too
2021 and it’s still fire🥺❤️
*2021
The fact that I can only like this ONCE, after watching it religiously for the past 4 years, hurts my soul! EXQUISITE
Yes indeed......Africa is the cradle of civilization. The songs I've heard from the Continent express human emotion beautifully. Although I have heard only a few African songs they never fail to leave a lasting impression. It is the heart that sings in many an African anthem.....Will
+Will Ortiz cradle of civilization? Really?
If you study the evolution of the human race, you will find species that predate Neandertal man such as Lucy who was found in Africa.
+Will Ortiz I was thinking of more recent history, nor pre history.
That does not change the fact that Africa is the birthplace of the human race. It is historical fact....Will
+Will Ortiz 'birthplace of the human race' perhaps. 'cradle of civilization' not so much. When I think of the cradle of civilization I think of ancient Greeks and Romans, and technological inventions like the railway not cave men and bush men. I'll give you the ancient Egyptians but not much good has come out of Africa since then.
Where are all the African inventions?
Best performance of the most beautiful song ever? In any case, thank you South Africa for showing the rest of us what real harmony can be.
I cry everytime. it hits me as an African. so beautiful.
It's more than singing. I See beatiful people bringing sounds from theirs hearts and souls. I can hear music created with passion, love and dedication. When I close my eyes I can imagine whole world fulifilled with this heavenly sounds. Our better world :)
Such passion and talent combined in professionalism. Ah! The beautiful sound of South Africa.❤
2024 je reviens écouter cet chef d'oeuvre car il résonnait dans mes pensées mais cette fois je laisse un commentaire
They sound like angels

Even better version
th-cam.com/video/c4W8ayFmJcU/w-d-xo.html
so lovely it brings goosebumps....the voices are magnificent....and the drumming - takes my breath away!
Through the ears to my heart ❤ greetings from germany
My twins graduated in June....the high school choir performed this and I was moved to tears. I didn't know what they were singing, yet I was moved. Just learn here what this song means....my spirit knew it before I did, and was moved. The most beautiful song I have ever heard...thank you!
Please, accept our congrats for the performance, song and, of coarse, the Gold Prize !!!
I've hardly heard anything more beautiful than this! :)
It was a true privilege to see the Stellenbosch choir in World Choir games in Riga. Your faces are amazing, your music is amazing. Polished to the detail and so passionate at the same time.
And since I first heard Indodana in this concert (and later outside of the hall on the street), can't get it out of my head. It's giving me goosebumps every time I listen to it.
Is it still the same sentiment?
Girl at 2:35 closing her eyes.. she's the essence of this song and of the joy for singing in general.
Stellenbosch, you guys deserved 99/100 ;)
The first minute is priceless due to conductor's expressions ❤
Best version ever. My opinion though
Lesedi Cwaile I prefer the Pretoria camerata
Lesedi Cwaile I have heard this sung by so many choirs, only Stellenbosch gives me goosebumps every time!!!👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🙌🏽🙏🏽
This is one is the best. It's got that thing. It touches my soul
Nicely done but I also prefer the UP camerata one more
I like the partswhen the females slide, as well as the beat of the drum, but
I Wish they took more time with the ends of phrases, especially at the "um twa na ti leh. eh-EH-eh
one word " EARGASM"
Stellenbosch University Choir has sanctified this song. Truly magnificent! I love that
"sanctified" go fuck yourself, they are too evil to sanctify shit and they dont even know what the meaning of what they are singing is tsek.
What compelled you to make such a fool of yourself, flaunting your embittered small-mindedness so publicly?
+ Nelson, totally agree with you, "sanctified" is not an exaggeration - what we all see and hear in this Stellenbosch choir, not only the best young intellects in SA, is an example of what multicultural synergies can achieve ; )
chumani Mtshixa - you are full of hate ngwana mme. Now i can't speak for how the university functions cause i dont go to Stellies, mara se ke se itseng ke se: Music Unites all, irrespective of cultures - in particular choral music. It is one of the few places where people actually for a split moment experience the transcendence of art beyond cultures, ethnicity and languages.That is the beauty and power of music. Now I'm not a choral expert here, but i have sufficient experience in singing choral music and know this for a fact - one cannot sing a song without knowing what the meaning behind the text is, it is what brings the music to life. It is the internalization and interpretation of music that makes a choir or singer unique and how they deliver it, otherwise people would experience emotion with this a piece of music (Which i'm assuming is what you are feeling - anger that a choir from a university which some see as problematic could perform music of our people and still make it speak.
They are not using black song to make money - at the core of choral music is uniting people from all walks of life through sharing and singing music regardless of where it came from together. Not about money.
The choral space is one of the most unifying spaces you'll ever find in the world. Just open your heart and allow the music to speak to you and not hatred.
Beautifull......one of my all time favs M B is such a great composer. luv you USK...Riga couldn't have been the same without you.
I'm singing this in choir this year and love it sooooo much!
How has the pandemic impacted your rehearsals? Are you back to rehearsing?
@@puopha Choir is much smaller than it normally is and instead of rehearsing in class we would rehearse in the school auditorium where we're more spread out. Unfortunately we can't perform live, so we would record it then post the concert on the school website.
same!!
Still the most beautiful voices in the world! I get goosies whenever I listen to Stellies University Choir 😍💕💖💖
I can't explain how much happiness this version gives me everytime I listen to it. It always manages to give me chills! Magnificent!!
This is incredible. Absolutely incredible, I even shed a tear. VIVA SA!
How wonderful to see all people coming together as one worshipping God our creator. This how we should always be, different but one. These are golden voices.
Still the best rendition of this song. Great harmony, greater lyrics.
Iyoh! I'm so in love with this choir. Really deserving of the top spot in the world. The emotion in their singing... The maturity of expression of being through music. Justice done!
2019?
#credits to the drummer you guys😍😍👌🏾👌🏾😭
Everyday the melodies are New to me ❤😊😢🎉
Questo coro e il suo direttore........... Da brividi..... Dio li benedica ! Che suoni , che musica divina ci regalano . Grazie infinite !
5 years later, it still hits hard! I’m in tears 😭 😭😭😭
Una de las canciones mas emotivas que he cantado en mis 52 años con el Orfeón Burgalés, con Martra Pilar, y el gran Juan Pablo de Juan.Un momentazo.
24 people who hate this. Must not have a heart guaranteed.
Best version ever. My opinion though
This is my favorite of this choir.. so beautiful. Goosebumps.. spirit all the way reaching Europe

It's 2021 but this song still hits hard...❤❤
This is beautiful I have watched it countless times and cant get enough of it. Praises be to the choir.
As soon as he motioned for more sound in the beginning it just exploded beautifully with resonance.
it just says i must cry...yhoooo!! guys this song.The melody is just soothing.
I love them they sing with understanding... making it so real. Well-done guys!
May people find the peace of God. He remains the last sacrifice even today. Accept him and be free. Jesus remains that lamb to this day. He is alive and reigning in glory.
This is so beautiful makes me emotional and long for home
-I can't get enough of your Angelic voices..
Absolutely stunning! Nobody else sings it like this choir. Love from an ex-Paarlite now living in Oz x
This is such an amazing piece, cant leave my head, the voices are so perfect that leaves little to imagination on the professionalism and talent to these lovely young people! God bless you as you bless Africa and the world with such glorious voices

Fabulous choir. I’m addicted to everything they do.
The year is 2022 and I’m here again. “ Music, once admitted to the soul, becomes a sort of spirit, and never dies.”

Stellies julle sing regte mooi, ek was in die Tuks Camerata, ek onthou een van julle 1st Saprano wat 'n solo gesing in Blue bird/Blou bird. Ek was ondergraadte van 2004 tot 2006 by Tukkies.
The best music my ears have ever listened to. Soo heavenly. I will never get tired of this. Please keep up the good works.
je l'ai chanté aux Choralies 2016 à Vaison La Romaine, grand moment d'émotion !!!
This song and your performance... I have no words in my native Latvian to describe how I Love It!
The Stellenbosch University Choir is my idea of heaven and it is so beautiful
