  • Опубликовано: 5 июл 2011
  • On a random Saturday morning at Greenacres Shopping Centre in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, the international award-winning Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University Choir delights unsuspecting shoppers and passers-by with an impromptu practised routine which includes a number of popular songs. The flash mob is part of an awareness campaign to get students to apply to study at NMMU, one of South Africa's leading tertiary education institutions. Find out more at www.betterU.co.za.

    Did you notice the smiles on most all the faces? The little "get down and boggey girl". This is great. Would love to see it happen here. The singers are absolutely fantastic.

    This goes to show what joy and satisfaction comes from being part of a choir. This is definatly one of the most emotional presentations of this kind' I have seen on you tube. I sing in a choir and it reminds me that the joining together of people from ALL walks of life can breach any barrier and bring beautiful harmony to those who sing and those who listen. Top marks for a brilliant performance.

I believe in our country and all the different people born and living here. The delight and harmony between al the different races shown on this video is awesome! There is so much sweet goodness in most people. May God bring us all together like this all the time.

    Acapella singing is big in the US, and around the world. Just returned from a week long convention of Barbershop Harmony in Kansas City. There were 50+ quartets from around the world competing, plus 23 Collegiate quartets and then 30 Chapter Chorus's from all corners of the world. Second place quartet was from New Zealand as was 7th place Chorus. The spontaneous appearance of the Choir singing in South Africa was a clever way to introduce themselves to the shoppers.
