I was a member of this choir... I was the one of the smallest there and I still remember, I was just enjoying it as though we are just playing with my friends
Commenting from Nairobi, Kenya.. Grew up in the early 2000s, we did not have a lot of radio options. KBC is kinda like our BBC and they used to play this song first thing at 5am. My mum used to taunt me, just turn the radio and play it. The version we had contained extra lyrics (the lion never sleeps). My mum passed on when I was 11, been looking for this song all my life and finally found it today!!!!
Wow, I spent 5 weeks visiting family in Nairobi in 1975. Best trip ever, the people were so nice, was able to visit Nakuru, stay at Treetops 1 night and swim in the ocean at Mombasa. Because my bro-in-law was on a 2 year missionary trip while also working there we had access to more spots than tourists. So sorry about your mother, I lost mine at 15. It's not easy.
I was a member of this choir, not anymore though, singing this song was such a miracle, even hearing our conductor say that we're now gonna sing it was so joyful.
This is one of the happiest songs ever - and all the different jungle sounds are amazing and I so appreciate how much the different parts were explained - the base, the tenor, the alto and soprano but I also love the falsetto - truly a joy to listen to and I think a true masterpiece !!!
Tami Collins I hope you find other versions they did a decent job - great on the sound effects but this def has been done better - they kinda sucked the soul out of it - possibly bcz they're a younger men's group, learning about technical vocal skills - rather than a seasoned group, who understands when to drop certain formal language in singing they'll continue to do better, if they keep practicing best I ever heard was Ladysmith Black Mambazo live - but their version is closer to the original, and doesn't have any words - you can feel everything in their voices - the English words kinda change the tone of its original meaning
I've listened to this song ever since I was a little kid. I never thought I would ever get emotional and cry hearing this song but this version just made me bawl my eyes out. This choir is simply the best !
Великолепная полифоничность , многоголосие , поддержка движениями . Узнаваемый колорит Африки . Вы создали атмосферу . Ну и наконец , пение , на высоком уровне . Браво Маэстро !
I am a librarian at a school in San Pedro Sula, Honduras. I never get tired of showing and hearing this performance to my children in Preschool. It is so beautiful. Congratulations Mr. Weiss to you and the boys.
*_Sadly, I took ill in San Pedro Sula some years ago, ending my career in teaching. I have fond memories of my students in a very poor and most violent city._*
First time hearing this version...i thoroughly enjoying it..listening to it for the fourth time...love the jungle sounds ...beautiful to hear...this song will never get old.
The opening of this beautiful performance is the closest thing we’ve got to a real jungle. Closer than the sound from any zoo. Just a talented blend of souls bringing a beautiful song to life.✨
Incredible! This is a stunner. I can even imagine the initial practicing - all the fun these boys must have had when each had a go to their animal sounds. I really enjoyed listening to this. Very creative. ♫
Listened the original one? Sorry, but I love love love the original still better. Bur it was the 1960's the record came out and it caught me, hook, line and sinker, and is still the one to give me goosebumps and shivers every time I hear it, no matter who are performing it.
When I was a little girl I used to drive my mother crazy making all those same jungle sounds with my mouth. It kept my brother and sisters highly entertained. Especially when our mothrr started chasing me around the house.
It's cute but not the best I've ever heard. One thing that has always bothered me is that Lions do NOT live in the jungle so any version celebrating that part of the lyrics (written well after the original song) just sounds silly to me.
I would like to express my gratude, first to the God and, the amazing musical director, and musicians and singer to have giving us this lovely music of comfort, hope, hope and rest. May I encourage the young people you are creating mericle of hope, peace. Keep singing and heal our world.
European nations learn English (ESL) all throughout their school years. Especially in larger cities. And I would say most of these kids have had English training. Also, like others mentioned when I was in choir, we had to sing in Latin, French, German, & Spanish even though we'd never been trained in the those languages. With the gift of singing comes the gift to memorize the words and sounds in the lyrics. I can't recall any one of us having any difficulty memorizing the lyrics in Latin or other languages. We all embraced it enthusiastically. It's part of the giftedness of singing.
Marvellous! I grew up in Africa and this song accompanied my youth. No one could sleep during our dawn choruses, and a walk through the bush late afternoon was often very noisy too especially if you were in forest areas.
I am so thoroughly impressed with this magnificent choir! Their performance was just awe-inspiring and make me love this song even more than before. Well done to such a talented group of singers!
Its good....its really good it brings tears ...my papa used to sing this song for me... This choir made me feel like my papa is standing there beside them... Thanks..im really greatfull
David Weiss loves sound of the jungle and animals ! Taught the children to use their fingers to produce the sound ! The children did it so seriously ! It was Awesome! Thanks God Bless the children and David !
Absolutely marvelous! A jolly well done to these lovely boys and their director, in recreating this famous song from the "Lion King" animated movie..it was magic!
Opening with Jungle Sounds was priceless.
It's so beautiful
😻😻😻😻
Excellent!
also the animal sounds in between were amazing
Yes...the laughs were so natural....
The most amazing thing was that everyone was dead serious while making all the funny jungle sounds.
Discipline breeds success.
Yes that’s what I admired too.
Yeah

It will be listened and viewed for decades,
as long as it appears on this channel. It's unusual spirit of this boys choir , one of the kind 💛💚❤️
Very unique! I love the jungle atmosphere they created with just their voices!
also try listening to The Circle of Life by the Philippine Madrigal Singers.. they brought the african savana to the stage with their voices
Great performance! The sounds of Animals made It even more special!
This is the most amazing interpretation of THE LION SLEEP TONIGHT SONG. I never heard anything like it. I love it.
These young men make me think our world has a future...
Ofc. I couldn't agree more
But the lion is sleeping :(
Not until this Virus came
Thx for liking my reply. Whoever it is😁💗💗
@Uncle Eidolf Oh ok. Thx 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗😁
The jungle voices....the immediate switch into the song...and the interval jungle sounds made me love them more!!
OUTSTANDING. EXCELLENT. FANTASTIC!!!!. So proud of these young men! Very talented.
birds warbling, apes groaning, insects singing...they made a perfect jungle.
Don’t forget the Always-annoying hyena sounds! Truly amazing! 🤗
Must be a lot like Congress.
Yeap....precisely
Their sounds were fantastic.
Snake?
I am just stunned. What a great performance. Your conductor should be praised as well. Genius on his part.
Simply STUNNING !!!

Beautiful singing,we thank God for the original composer "Solomon Linda " from South Africa
I agree!❤️
The Tokens is the original
@@martinmayhew145 No. It was Solomon Linda. Please read up on the history of this song.
Woh ! What a coordination. Extraordinary. Kids will remember whole life that they were part of this band.
My son, Phillip, loved this song. It was played at his memorial service. Thank you all so much for this gift. It’s so beautiful! ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️

So sorry for your loss. This song 🎵 must have left not a dry eye in the house.
💖🦁🌳🌳🌳🌾🌾🌾💫💫💫Send you love! 😘
So sorry for the loss of your dear son Philiph. May this song bring comfort to you 🍁
SO sorry for the loss of your boy.... Your reunion with him, one day, will be amazing. 💔❤
pretty dang impressive. loved the animal sounds.
Handsome guys all dressed up and super talented..... what’s not to love!!!! And those jungle noises are the crowning touch!
That really deserved a standing ovation! Great job to all of you!
Splendid performance with all jungle voices. Made me smile.
Hands down the best version of this song I have ever heard. Well done gentlemen.
Tami Collins
I hope you find other versions
they did a decent job - great on the sound effects
but this def has been done better - they kinda sucked the soul out of it - possibly bcz they're a younger men's group, learning about technical vocal skills - rather than a seasoned group, who understands when to drop certain formal language in singing
they'll continue to do better, if they keep practicing
best I ever heard was Ladysmith Black Mambazo live - but their version is closer to the original, and doesn't have any words - you can feel everything in their voices - the English words kinda change the tone of its original meaning
@@ummeiguess “I really don’t care, do you?” - Melania Trump
We did this two years ago on a convocation day, and i was the conductor. I'm still very proud of it.
I loved this almost as much as the boys must have enjoyed doing it. They made it sound like they brought the jungle with them.
Well put together young men! There is just something very special/great, it’s healing and a blessing being in a choir.
Blessing? Again with the religious bullshit. Fuck off.
That was a awesome performance!
@iFeel zzzZz Piss off. "Vibe" is just another bullshit word for unquantifiable bullshit. Knock it the fuck off.

@@chazdesimone7306 I'm confused as well, also their spelling is terrible
So rightly said
Given that these are not native English speakers, the performance is that much more impressive.
English is the international language of the world .
Where are they from ?
We are from Lithuania
