If you are one of the singers featured in this video, we thank you. Idk man, this just hits a vibe I cant explain. And brag about it bc yall killed it. Every one of you.
One of the characteristics that makes humans a most successful and remarkable species is our capacity for teamwork. There is perhaps no more sublime expression of this than a choir or orchestra.
@@SamuelJoseph962 I'm not sure that science backs up what you're saying. There are plenty of great videos on youtube that show how ants and bees work way better together than humans do.
One of the things I love about watching a choir is how they always look happy to be singing and performing with their friends. It’s infectious and a bit of envy-inducing too.
I don't know about everyone else, but I love the guy grooving in the back with the violin... he epitomizes the way music brings people together in that one does not have to be "the star" but rather taking pleasure in enjoying and celebrating the performance of others
Ralf J. Bater, also others that read this comment, this is a true definition of all people working together. Would be nice to see more of this in the World today! John, Australia.
It is said that this is taken from an African cattleman song. I was once sitting in a pickup waiting for my dad to get off work and drive him home. It was taking a lot longer than expected. I started singing for my own amusement with no one around. When I got to this song and started singing, all of the cattle that were in the field came to the fence and were staring at me. I guess someone found out a long time ago that cows have a musical preference as well. I feel there is magic wasted with no herd to hear.
Well, You are not far from truth, the original song is called Mbumbe (1939) By Solomon Linda, who is a South African Male born in 1909. I know the Solomon Linda Family Personally. in fact, this year, his statue will be unveiled in Zola Soweto.
This is what REAL diversity looks like. Young people brought together who share a common interest whose voices combined are so much more powerful than any one of them alone. We need leaders, like this choral director, who can bring people together, not divide them.
I envy everyone, at every performance, at every theatre they go too! A big fan of Glenn Close. Didn't see her live performance; but saw the broadcast. And, of course, she was magnificent.🤩
I love the video. Listened to it over and over. It is infectious. But as said before the guy is the happiest person there. I love his joy and happiness he shows. That is what this song, video, the conductor and the singers are great
HONY brought me here. Beautiful unique power indeed. And how he invited the crowd to sing along. Inclusivity and encouragement all the way! Love from Indonesia 🧡
This is a conductor and choir at the top of their game. It's simply poetry in motion. They make something that's got to be seriously hard to do look so effortless and amazing.. I totally love it...
A group singing a song a group of people, no matter age, physical or mentally disabilities, race religion, or any views..... For that moment in this dance we call life we are one. In a rather dark world one voice one together shines brighter then any star in the sky.
Ive known this song for 40 (?) years. Its only now i find out its not "wimbaway" but wimoway. Lol. i still cant unhear the "b" though. Apparently my ears are to old now to be corrected.
I had to play this twice - the first time, I only listened, and only the second time, I was also able to watch them, to focus on the video, to see how their own tunes move them. If my comment reaches anybody, that will most likely be *after* you've already played the video, but if by any chance not - consider closing your eyes and *just listening* first. This music speaks directly to the heart.
One of my favorite songs of all time and i really love and enjoy watching the young people sing and the energy and the enthusiasm of the director! Love it well done young!❤
I love the way the NYC choir actually had one of their old block of flats in the background on the panoramic view.❤❤Proper NYC that and brilliant extremely good singing
I love coming back to this video, it is just so uplifting and everyone just has so much energy. Nick Kendall bouncing around in the background with the smile on his face is an added bonus and really tells a lot about the energy and atmosphere there!
These boys and girls seem to be having a lot of fun while singing this melodious song , your hardwork really pays off ! You all have lots of potential and you have a very unique power in your singing." Keep up the good work everyone 👏
I was 13 years old when I heard "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" for the first time. It was with a group called The Hounds and that song has stayed with me through the years and still remain in my head with text and only good memories with positive experiences. Funny that it lives on with so many.
It doesnt matter who you are or where you are or what your situation is, this makes you feel good. It restores my faith in humanity, good things do still happen 😊
I watch this every single time it appears in my feed!! I was a singing member decades ago! This beautiful piece of course was way after my time. What a thrill for every single person participating!
This sooo epic, I wish the crowd gave this more epicness than just folded hands and judgment... these folks are playing their heart out to some of the blockbuster tune. Come out to the west with your crew, and you WILL get the love you deserve!
I'm a choir member also.. and I love singing with my group... But you guys helps me realize that I should not stop singing no matter what happens ..keep it up guys .

Have you ever watched a colony of ants or a hive of bees?
wow that sounds so profound but is utter bollocks
@@jarodmorris4408 cute but they don't come close

Me too
You nailed it! "They join because they like to sing - they stay because they make a friend." - Francisco Nunez.
Thanks for watching!
Singing in a choir is a very special bonding experience!
I would do almost anything for the chance to sing in a chorus or choir again. They don’t really do that in rural Colorado
You have no idea unless you've experienced the joy of singing in a choir.
I loved the violinist enjoying himself
Yes! Easy to see that he "got lost" in the performance.
COMPOSER IS A GENIUS
This lot isn't
In a very dark time, this gives me hope for the future.

John, Australia.
I loved watching the conductor ❤
truth
That guy is having THE best time huh? 😁
100%
Being a member of the Choir was one the most epic experiences in my life
gotta admit it should be a moment to be proud of...it great performance
Such a good version of an old song. Great to see young performers carry it off. Well done you. Be proud.
You were very lucky to be there :)
ya,ll rocked
tell us more, we want to hear what it was like, serious. It looked like it was so much fun.

Yes,yes,yes ❤❤❤
A great channeling of positive community energy.
Diversity on the same page, that is.
With a director and notes to sing in sync.
We need lead singers.
Diversity of everything, except thought
Sometimes, the urge to sing "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" is just a whim away...a whim away...a whim away...a whim away...
You... I see what you did and I love it!
I'm going to say that's incredibly funny,but it's just a Token gesture.
Especially in a concrete stairwell or parking garage!
@@BobCrabtree-ev4rzwell played!🤣
I see what you did there😊
THERE IS NO SOUND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A GROUP SINGING TOGETHER
This is the sight and the sound of the future. We’re gonna be okay. ☺️☺️☺️
The lion doesn't sleep forever. He eventually wakes up.
God help us
So BEAUTIFUL, all these Wonderful People here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahhahhaa .. er.. how old are you?
63
The urge to sing this song has always just been a whim away!
Just crying with the pure joy of the song, music, singers... 💞💞💞💞
I'm old enough to remember this song in the early 60's on th Ed Sulivan Show and I sang along it is infectious!!!
we need more of this with the kids singing the voices absolutely marvelous love listening
I love watching younger people having so much fun at a song probably older than them, especially how diverse it is.
I was fortunate to experience Glenn Close at the Ahmanson Theater in Los Angeles mid-1990s as Norma Desmond, I was blown away by her performance.
I envy everyone, at every performance, at every theatre they go too! A big fan of Glenn Close. Didn't see her live performance; but saw the broadcast. And, of course, she was magnificent.🤩
I love the video. Listened to it over and over. It is infectious. But as said before the guy is the happiest person there. I love his joy and happiness he shows. That is what this song, video, the conductor and the singers are great
This song and particularly this version, it never fails to make me happy
It doesn’t matter where we from let’s united as one
Beautiful piece from Africa ❤
Look at them. Everyone a big smile..❤❤
Choreography that timed with that number of live dancers is Hollywood grade!
How can this not make you smile? Amazing!!!!
HONY brought me here. Beautiful unique power indeed. And how he invited the crowd to sing along. Inclusivity and encouragement all the way! Love from Indonesia 🧡
Same 🥰
Same here 😊
same here 😊
Same here
Same! What an amazing story behind this lovely choir!
Damn ! This is soooo incredible, even the violin thief forgot what he was doing and got swept up in the moment.
i couldnt help it,... i was smiling the whole time this was playing! 😁😁🤗🤗💖💖💖💖😁😁😊😊👍👍
This is a conductor and choir at the top of their game.
It's simply poetry in motion. They make something that's got to be seriously hard to do look so effortless and amazing..
I totally love it...
It’s not hard if you have a talent for music , I don’t read notes , so I sing and play the piano by ear
Awwwwwwwe-some! How much fun can we all have when we get along and sing!
A group singing a song a group of people, no matter age, physical or mentally disabilities, race religion, or any views..... For that moment in this dance we call life we are one. In a rather dark world one voice one together shines brighter then any star in the sky.
I would love to have that man direct my choir. Nice job kids.
One of my favourite versions 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All the nations , all the colours , all of us , singing a lullaby song . Bless !!!
Please share ❤❤❤ 3:06 3:08 3:09 3:09 3:09 3:10
That song just never seems to get old. Great performance!
Right???!!!!!

What beautiful words, thank you so much!!
These kids curled my toes,what a great performance.
Awesome. This is what real music sounds like. More schools should challenge other schools...
Everyone struggling with depression and sadness in general should join a choir.
Alas, you haven’t heard me try to sing. I can sing this because I can switch to falsetto, and not sing the notes that I can’t sing.
Cant beat music, to lift your soul. Xx
Gorgeous young people enjoying the day and singing their hearts out. Made me smile...
The best version of the lion sleep tonight i' ve ever hear thank you and congratulations to you all ur are amazing ❤❤❤
Music defines us as human beings and never fails to pull us together
No matter what these kids accomplish in life as a fifty four year old man I can attest you will look back on this as one of your happiest moments.
One of my favorite songs of all time and i really love and enjoy watching the young people sing and the energy and the enthusiasm of the director! Love it well done young!❤
I meant to say well done young people!
This song got me thru a very difficult time. And I see that it helped others, too. Thank you, Wilson-Phillips!!
I love the way the NYC choir actually had one of their old block of flats in the background on the panoramic view.❤❤Proper NYC that and brilliant extremely good singing
Awesome to see some young people sing so beautifully, clothed and in their right mind
I used to play that over and over again in the 50s. I worked as a waitress. Love that song!
I can imagine what it feels back then.....you just attest to the truth of how good music never dies
HONY brought me here. You’re all fantastic and keep making magic and fun!
That conductor was awesome!❤❤
Another gift from HONY. 👏👏🙌🙌
Even after 37 times, I love this....blessing and prosperity to everyone involved...
Love 😍
Several times that Harmony gave me the chills. Love when that happens..
Bravo to all the fantastic dancers who were as infectious as the song is. Best Happy city edition of all and watching this makes me happy!!
What a fabulous cross section of kids. Well done
This was released back when I was a kid. Love hearing it again with a sense of love and passion!
anyone who has sung in a choir or an ensemble will tell you what a liberating and enjoyable experiences it is
I love coming back to this video, it is just so uplifting and everyone just has so much energy. Nick Kendall bouncing around in the background with the smile on his face is an added bonus and really tells a lot about the energy and atmosphere there!
This version of the classic ALWAYS brings a smile to my heart. Dunno who the guy with violin is, he represents the joy of the spirit of this song.
“You all sound fantastic!” Thakyou all for taking me back to my choir experiences as a schoolgirl……Love you all xxx
HONY thank you for sharing his story.. all i see here is pure magic from beautiful people ❤❤
This was spiritual perfection.
These folks look like they’re having a wonderful time!! ❤️
What an awesome Conductor/Leader/Teacher !! Job well done !!!
These boys and girls seem to be having a lot of fun while singing this melodious song , your hardwork really pays off ! You all have lots of potential and you have a very unique power in your singing."
Keep up the good work everyone 👏
Glorious. 👍👍👍👍
This is what we call music, Perfect blend of harmonious tones and frequencies all together.
One of my favorite songs growing up and even now!✌️
These young folks sound great.
Love this song, wonderful to hear it sang by young people! I'm 63 and used to sing it when I was a young girl.
Same.... chills,,, 63!!!!

Thank you, I have tears. This was one of my fave songs as a child way back. Beautiful beautiful music, thank you.
It doesnt matter who you are or where you are or what your situation is, this makes you feel good. It restores my faith in humanity, good things do still happen 😊
What a great choir - so much diversity, but united as one in beautiful harmony - an excellent example for society
Harmony, both in the voices and the makeup of the choir.
All those lovely young people making a beautiful noise!! Keep it going forever!!!!
Agree ❤
What a thrill it is to see young people putting in the effort to make beautiful music.
In the 60’s, when I was in high school marching band, we performed a half-time show using this melody. What fun it was!
One of my favorite old songs. Beautifully done.
Wonderful! It looked like a cross section of humanity, the Leage of Nations - so great to see, wonderful to hear!
Beautiful and the conductor participation is great.
Never gets old. ❤❤❤
So much joy on all those young, beaming faces. Great performance🙂🙂🙂
Nothing soothes the soul better than music
I watch this every single time it appears in my feed!!
I was a singing member decades ago! This beautiful piece of course was way after my time. What a thrill for every single person participating!
Beautiful…. just beautiful, I hope all of those young people have a bright future 🙏🏼
How can you not love this? My parents in their eighties sang along.
Fabulous! It made my spirit soar.
We need more of this in America today. Many different cultures and nationalities to come together and bring joy to us all. Thank you!
What a fantastic, talented group of young people! Such a joy to see & listen to. You can tell how much their teacher/conductor loves what he does
Thank you!!
This sooo epic, I wish the crowd gave this more epicness than just folded hands and judgment... these folks are playing their heart out to some of the blockbuster tune. Come out to the west with your crew, and you WILL get the love you deserve!
I'm a choir member also.. and I love singing with my group... But you guys helps me realize that I should not stop singing no matter what happens ..keep it up guys .
There's no way I could watch this too many times! Though I would love to hear them sing this without his direction.
Inspiring! There's nothing like seeing young people making music..... You just warmed a brutally cold winter night in the UK.....
Discovered this yesterday, since then i listen, watch, cry, smile on respect
Angelic voices 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That was fabulous! When the human spirit comes together in song, it is so empowering and a state of grace. Thank you.
Fully agreed...this is my new go to song every nite before I go to bed - a great team work to bring this great song to all!
This is the best song to teach the church choir the voices harmony
