- African Medley - Traditional South African, arranged by André van der Merwe
1. Amavolovolo (We are scared of the guns)
2. Nongqongqo (Our leaders are in jail) - Miriam Makeba
3. Bhombela (Look out, the train comes!)
I love that the conductor is sitting on the floor and everyone is dancing, it's such a casual and fun energy
I’ve lost most of Friday afternoon watching this marvellous choir and their equally marvellous choir master. Time well spent.
Maybe you GAINED most of Friday afternoon?
I'm watching their stuff on a Friday afternoon as well😂
Amazing!!! You blew my mind. Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱 !
as long as I'm in the world the Father the son and the holy Spirit has a voice in the world a living voice of the living God amen
More than any music I've ever listened to this gives me HOPE - that black and white can unite in harmony!
Woooow this is amazing
Just speechless and priceless! Wow 😮
Sending love from The Bahamas 🇧🇸
This is awesome! They’re are great!
Simply amazing
South Africa at its Best . Multi Cultural No Evil Here.
Wow
Does anyone know what the beginning song was before Amavolovolo? The whole song is beautiful!!!!
nota 10
I hope this type of video will inspire my granddaughter to push herself to obtain a place in this wonderful uni . I sent this to her this evening .She spending school holiday with us and a joy to have her here. Blessed to have 5 beautiful grandchildren living close to hand .
She MUST Go to this school, That is so Beautiful
What a blessing
This is extraordinary for a number of reasons: Stellenbosch University was, for most of its history, an Afrikaans and historically white university (meaning it did not allow black people as students during apartheid). This choir is singing songs that would have been banned during apartheid, particularly song 2 is an anti apartheid protest or "struggle" song. And the songs are in languages (isiXhosa and isiZulu) that are not native to a big chunk of the choristers, one assumes. Just amazing...
Love from Paris, France.
South Africa at its best, keep up the good work.
Magnifique !
Wow, wow, wow! When people come together to do what they love and defy all negativity. This gives me so much hope for this country. Thank you Andre, SU and the choir. I am bringing all my friends and family to the concert on 23 Sep in Pretoria.
This is what South Africa was supposed to be. It took a while but we're getting there now. No other country has this mix of culture.
Incorrect, America has much greater mix of cultures.
Choirs I now do most of my singing in the pews at church on Sundays. I have now not been at church for over a year because of COVID-19 and I am 83 years old. Two months ago I discovered this choir on You Tube. I now listen to it every year night before going to bed
What wonderful music. Cheers from Ottawa Canada. Love
We are one people my Canadian sister. Hope you are well.
@@freightlinefanrsa7282 Thank you for asking. I am well and happy you know me as a sister but I am happily your brother. Cheers from Ottawa Canada
God’s blessing again.
SOUTH AFRICA IS A RAINBOW NATION(Thank you University of Stellenbosch )thank you Andre Van de Merve, united we stand👋👏👋👏👋👏👋🙏🙏🙏, in South Africa we are one👋🤞
I just discovered this magnificent choir, which I saw is deservedly number 1 in the world. I'm here from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I discovered South Africa when I was 12 years old in 1982, it was another reality, and I've been following the country's historical evolution, very happy with everything they have achieved and produced. And this beautiful choir is a beautiful legacy for our increasingly complicated world. Congratulations on this talented work and the message of unity you convey!! I hope to be lucky enough to see you performing here in Brazil, because Brazilians need this message from you!!
Definitely!! I'm a big fan, more than ten years, and they saved me from the worst moments in my life. It would be a dream have them performing in Brazil!
This is, with NO doubts, the best choir in the world!
Congratz to every singer and to the conductor.
Regards from Brazil.
I was about to say this, thank you for saying it for me.
I think Andre van der Merwe is a greater magician than David Copperfield.
Tede
He is wonderful ❤
Class act
Exactly
He truly is the greatest 🇿🇦🙌🏾.
My favourite was "Amavolovolo" song. I loved it soooooo much! So glad I subscribed!💖💖
Arafina Mensah Super
What is the title of this song?
South African choirs seem to sing extremely well. This, the Rustenberger, the Ndlovu, incredible!
Loads more. Search for Tygerberg Children's choir. University of Pretoria Camerata, Nelson Mandela Metro University, Stellenbosch Libertas choir. South Africa love to sing!
You must also listen to Tuks Camarata, Indodana and Bawu
Cape Town Youth Choir; Drakensberg; Soweto; and many more
In conclusion, just listen to Varsity Sing it's South African university choir's
It's in the water we drink 🇿🇦🤣.
This great choir carries on a remarkable South African tradition, dating back centuries and given added life in the struggle against apartheid: That tradition is mobilizing the language of music and sending it into battle.
Absolutely amazing. You guys truly blow my mind away everytime I listen to you. Greetings from Uruguay.
Greetings from Brazil. You guys are amazing. So beautiful song and voices. Any chance to perform in Brazil?
Heartwarming to see Mandela's dream of the Rainbow Nation alive and well in this astonishing choir.
There is no rainbow nation. Don’t delude yourself
@@emptycell I said that it is "in this choir", which was virtually all white not so many years ago. I intentionally did not say the SA has gotten to Mandela's dream. The Rainbow Nation exists as a dream, a hope, for most South Africans, not a reaity yet. There is still too much racial separation, too much grinding poverty among most blacks, and many divisions and problems.
Yesss
Astonishing choir is exactly the right word
@@emptycell
English comprehension isn't a strong suit of yours, is it?
Love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 such an incredible performance.
Maravilha!
It is so beautiful it makes me cry. Where have you been?
The harmonies are on fire. Awesome arrangement
Hahaha I over thought it . I thought you meant Hermione's coz they sound megical . The sopranos go so high. I feel a little embarrassed it was so obvious and I over thought 🤦🏾
Andre van der Merve is the best
They deserve more credit😍😍
THIS IS WHAT WE CALL MUSIC 👌👏
I don’t even know how I got here but this is incredible. Cheers from Canada
The best choir ever ❤️
You are amazing and inspirational. Your musicality is first rate and selection of music wonderfully appropriate. Your performances of Baba Yetu, Die Donker and African gospel music leave me wanting more. You have an extraordinary director who is remarkable and professional with his connection with each member of the choir. I think of you along with other South Africans--Nelson Mandela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Miriam Makaba, Nadine Gordimer, Trevor Noah, Hugh Masakea, and honorary South African Paul Simon. As an American (Seattle), you give me great hope for the future that it is possible to overcome racism and political strife even in the USA.
Really amazing! Beside the beautiful, emotional and expressive singing, your choreographie was also very well dosed.
It supports the singing and interpretation but doesn't look artificial or like too much show. Well done.
I guess you have a separate choreografer right? Or does the singers invent the moves on their own?
I wish I could see this live
Me too!
When life seems too dark, here's the light! Gratitude to all
Perfect! Great singing, great music, great quality! Just perfect!
4 min But it seemed like I was watching a Full Movie. Very Entertaining. Very Inspiring
Powerful music💯💯💯
Big up Andre van der Merwe
and of course Stellenbosch university choir 💯💯💕💕💕💕💕
So many goosebump worthy moments. I will never get over this choir!
I never tire of listening to this choir, they always give me goosebumps. I'd love to see them live.
watching this on 22/6/2019. Uploaded 2 hours ago!

Lord, one of my dreams is to sing in this choir 😭😭👏.
Your dreams are valid, reach out to them. You'll get in!
Боже мой! Это потрясающе! С любовью из России! OMG! It's amazing! With love from Russia!!!
Please someone should help me with the lyrics of this song 🙏
i think i just exhausted my store of goosebumps... oh my!!! never ever have i seen or heard something more beautiful. God richly bless you for blessing my heart
😂🤣😂 @exhausting your store of goosebumps
Goose bumps on "Bahleli bonke etilongweni"
yhuuuu huys...
Dear singers, I thank you so much for this and other songs. I cannot help but always think: this is what the world should be like. All humans are siblings. Raise your souls, stop worrying about all the little daily angers.
I'm not sure why the audience members are still in their seats after such a performance
because they always see such good performances from this choir that they cant be surprised by how good thye are
I would be standing and screaming🇿🇦
I can't watch their music without moving to the rhythm!
we are very reserved
This is not a rap / rock concert. It’s a choir. No need to scream.
Zo geweldig goed deze jeugd onder leiding van André van der Merwe . Heb direct heimwee Zuid Afrika .👍👍👍👍
So perfect and so beautiful!!

Eu sou brasileiro, cada vez que escuto a música de vocês parece que entra em meu corpo, faz a corrente sanguínea se acalmar, o coração se aqueta, tudo para, aí vem os arrepios, nesse momento eu tenho a certeza de que vocês como um coral e cantores são incríveis, maestro parabéns !!
What an incredible performance. The mimicking of the train whistle at the end! Man, I'm emotional.
May 2022,now they need to go and set fire on the AGT stage just like the Ndlovu Youth Choir did ♥️🇿🇦🙏🏾.

I studied in a school of music in Toronto Canada from age 10 to 19. I I have enjoyed singing for many and have done some Directing of cho
The audience member sitting on the bottom right on the screen with their feet flung on the stage needs to be removed due to pure disrespect and I should sit in their place ;-)
