How inspiring to not only hear this beautiful indigenous ethnic music but also realize that after four generations past the codification of Apartheid (1948), the children of Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana, and Dutch are joyfully singing together as one.
Put on your head phones, when you listen to this. The base and tenor sections are pure gold!
Not enough credit is given to everyone for caring enough to learn how to pronounce vernacular songs in the way that they should be. Well done guys. Love and light
Hello
Nope no cookie for speaking the local language, I lived in the US and now in Belgium, I dont get praised for speaking the local language well because it is expected . I learnt the language in two years because I respect my host country which is more that I can say for some people who have lived in my country for many generations.
@@thandie67 You do realize south africa doesn't have one "local" language
@@thandie67 That's asking a lot when the country has 11 official languages.
Well they are from South Africa, its expected of them
By the standards of some international bodies, Stellenbosch has the best university choral program in the world. Seems deserved.
Richard Logan yes
They are excellent- Fountain View Academy out of Canada is also very good--A different style of music but still very good.
@@jillc7 oh yes, I love fountain view too.
I love this video very well put together and very well done. I like that the lead person is not only leading but also involved in the singing and dancing. Great stuff. 😊
Richard Login, they WERE the best choir many decades ago!! I was there listening to pure excellence but needless to say it went down up to this point...POOR perfomance! Ek wil nie eers hierna luister nie! Maak my hartseer...
I first saw this video about three years ago and I still watch it before I go to sleep each night...it just doesn't get boring...gets better each night
This choir has grown in leaps and bounds. Seeing it now and where they started, they are just amazing. What I like most is that they kept their "culture". Keep it up.
This never gets old...NEVER! I could listen to this every morning like a morning prayer devotion.
Reality has a better hit rate
I am coming to Stellenbosch University for my PhD just to be a part of this beautiful choir - I love this
Very best of luck to you!
All the best bro.
That's true I also like it it's very beautiful I also want to come there
i'm pretty sure you can't just walk into a choir like this...must be very competitive to get in
I also said that earlier 😄😄😄
This boy leading is having a time of his life
You can see the passion and love for this song and our country. ♥️♥️
He's a young man...not a boy.
I enjoy him
This boy is going place. He is so good
He radiates the room.
the alto girls have the most powerful voice in this performance
Once we can travel again, my wife and I will come to SA to hear the Stellenbosch Choir.
WONDERFUL! I am sitting in Houston, Texas this morning and visiting Africa, much to my joy and delight. Thank you for this uplifting heart music.
I return here often. They capture the essence of what we know and enjoy and yearn for in South Africa. I love that they use dance while singing as is so African. Halala SU choir Halala ❤
This Choir is pure class, not only can they sing beautifully but it is also a very diverse and multicultural choir, South Africa is an international Country which has some of the most beautiful songs on earth.
University of Stellenbosch is like Tastic... Perfect everytime
Thank you very much for uploading this inspiring medley of African songs here on RUclips! I just wish that a multilingual RUclips user could translate these songs' lyrics into English, French, or Spanish, and post his/her translations here on RUclips, for our linguistic, musical, and spiritual edification. Thank you very much in advance for your help, and have a wonderful and blessed Easter 2024!
If it's about quality African Chorale music it's SA, GH and others .
🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 Ghana 💓💕💞loves 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦South Africa ✌️👌👌. You sing with passion, you guys are good.🙏🙏
I positively loved this! It's 2:30am, my husband is snoring beside me, the doggies are all piled up on me, I can't sleep, and I am grinning broadly all myself in the dark through this beautiful medley. I adore the African peoples and their music. It's not a watch or a listen, it's an experience. My love and appreciation, and best wishes to all you young and radiant beautiful singers!
You said it perfectly. They have both the best music, and the best choirs. Especially Stellenbosch, but at least ten others that number among the best in the world. I urge you to look them all up. (Sorry your husband snores.)
Stellenbosch University. Best choral music program in the world. Love the respect for black South African music.
I can’t even count the number of times I’ve listened to this medley. I always come back to listen to songs like these when I feel homesick, because it always reminds me that I am an African, and regardless of the language, I can feel it. If you are an African you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
It's the 7th January 2023 right now. For the God's sake I would like to know if the members of this choir are still united as they were when signing these songs here. You guys rocked the stage. Since I came across with you I never stopped listen to you. May the Lord God bless you all.
i love this medley with all my heart
"God has made of one blood, all peoples of the earth" - this is soo beautiful!
Why do I suddenly have the urge to move to South Africa and join this choir? Awesome job!
Right!!!!!!!
We are all sure that it has nothing to do with the numbers of beautiful young women.
We all choir singers feel that way when we listen to this incredible choir! Much respect and admiration to them!
I listen to this choir in the background everyday at work, I dont understand most of the lyrics but it brings peace to my spirit
love from Uganda
Wow !! This is incredible. Extremely powerful. thank you South Africa for giving these universities this amazing opportunity to showcase such beautiful talent. Well done guys.🌈👏❤️🙏💕
i dont know how many times i have replayed this one ...loving it !!!
This is so amazing.
The last lady gave me goosebumps
I swear Shosholoza is like our second national anthem. XD
I should I agree with you.!! I wish Namibia also had such songs that bring us together and an anthem with different languages
I wish I had been a citizen of your country
It is
Lol. I can sing it without knowing the language.
I swear you are right
The joy of the conductor is so lovely! Love to see his dance and to hear the choir 💐
Just the voice, nothing but voices (+ drums)❤❤❤
7:32 omg That is a beautiful voice.
The evening of a sunny spring-like day here in Austria and the discovery of you. Wonderful, thank you so much!
Without a fail. I probably watch this once or twice a day. ♥️
Me too 😀
Shosholoza, stimela 🚉 from South Africa
I love this choir, they sing beautifully
If the Rainbow Nation legacy of Nelson Mandela lives on anywhere in South Africa, it certainly does in many of
South Africa's institutions today, and maybe especially in its now-more-diverse universities, and most certainly in amazing choirs like this one.
And that is where the legacy must be. These university students are not just wonderful singers, they are creating the culture of a nation. This is their culture. This is their country.
Big love from South Sudan 💗💗
Shosholoza makes me so emotional it’s moving. Well done guys
I can listen this million times
And let our nations come together and resound together in singing..🔥🔥💯💯 beautifully done 💪
no race but the human race! i love it... i miss you south africa, i miss you! cheers from brasil/usa!
Henrique de Melo e Silva humanity is our universal language!
Now we can return the land to its rightful owners and all join hands singing kumbaya.
If I was blind I wouldn't have known that the last lead soprano is Indian/coloured. We only see color with our eyes, the heart is is one. Beautiful music😘😘😘
thank you x
colour and race should never be a factor and we were so blessed to be able to share the universal language of music. thanks for your support x
Thank you Stellenbosch for uplifting the human spirit, in a time of gloom on the earth.
The gentleman with glasses is really feeling the music
For sure, I noticed too. Love from. Zambia.
I'm Australian, Stephen Austin, Queensland. This is the best choir, and the best performances I've seen. All singers are very confident of their part. Totally agree with Forney below: We are just the human race, the choir represent all of us. Martin Berger is a great leader, and they all followed him, and the drummer gave a good backing.
Look up the Drakensberg Choir and their 2008 version of Shosholoza - they are incredible.
Saw a 2 minute clip of this choir 2 years ago and here I am today watching the full clip actually ❤️😊I love you guy♥️♥️
Love from Botswana 🇧🇼🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️🔥
you're too kind. Thank you so much! I actually live in Gabs now! Botswana is home x Thank you for all the support and love
I have changed my mind this is just not fantastic this is bloody brilliant i have listened to this many many times now and each time it gets better just lov this clip of vide the voices are just outstanding , who ever arranged this well done bloody brilliant
I agree 100% bloody brilliant!
Now THIS is what I was looking for
I wish I could assemble these guys marching down Hudson NY streets and in Troy and Albany then through NYC. Music unites all of us. It's the worship that pulls us together. The harmonization of many voices becoming one.
I was literally moved to tears when they sang Modimo wa re Sheba... amazing
Me too....especially at the end when they go softer....my oh my!
Africans are so easily moved lol, very temperamental people, easily manipulated too smh.
@@listenup2882 Nyweh nyweh 🤡.
Thank you for giving me the name of one of the songs, and the first one is Shosholoza, and do you happen know the name of the third song?
@@sthe_zar6341 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"nyweh Nyweh"
My Go to when I need a Pick me up.
Stunning
One of the best version I have ever heard for this song. Also, females look stunning!
@7:30 my brother living his best life in the background. love that guy
In dieser angstvollen Zeit ist DAS Balsam für die Seele 💚💙💜!!!
what an arrangement good Stellenbosch very simple this time....love you guys here from Namibia
Unbelievable such wonderful music! Don’t understand all lyrics but it does not matter I enjoyed listening.
I wish I had musical talents. At least I can enjoy those that do. Thanks for sharing!
OMG these singers are so good in fact they're incredible!! I do believe I have seen my future ex wife singing too!!
The countless 100's of times I've already watched this video...it NEVER tires on me...:-)...
me too
Me too - First Australian :)
Same with me. Cant get enough😊
Dont understand a thing...but do i need to...that is how music touches me as it speaks to my heart. Yes, this choir is the benchmark.´..from Kenya
back here again needed to hear this and give the sprit an uplift love the voice of the second female vocalist, but guys your all brilliant outstanding performance would love to have heard this as a live performance well done guys thanks
Ukholo lwami ngonyuka nalo
, Ngilubambe ngesandla,
Ngiyongena nalo ekhaya ezulwini

@@perfectlyimperfect1095 greats!
Thanks😉
@@nco5592 You're welcome. Hope you enjoy the songs.
@@perfectlyimperfect1095 I've been searching for these titles for weeks now😅...bless you man🙌🏾
This is exactly how the entire nations should be.
This is how nations are made. South Africa is a young country. Through music and sports it is becoming a nation.
stellenbosch university choir is one of the best, bravo!!!!!
소중한 영혼들이 기쁨으로 연합하는 찬양을 인간의 행복 중에 듣습니다. 그리고 바라봅니다.
주님께서 보시며 함께하시는 저 영혼들의 기쁨의 봉헌을!

@@bubbles6853 and so???!!
Unity with diversity makes our nation beautiful
Amen. wonderful
guys at the back are having the best time of their lives.
This performance resonates in me every single day, and has been in my head for a solid month +/-. Daily. And nightly. Constantly!
I discovered it a year or so ago while searching for songs from live Lucky Dube concerts. This particular choir is my favorite. Please also watch Cape Town Youth Choir. Stunning!
The last lady leading has👌👌voice
thank you so much !
May Isay that this is yet another incredible song from this university! Beautiful!
YES!!!! THATS AFRICAN SOUND!!!!! I LOVE IT..
I listened to this about 500 times. I miss home.
Thank you for this. No idea how it ended up on my feed but I’m happy about it.
Also, as a gay, watching straight white guys dance awkwardly brings me so much joy.
As a bisexual, I thought the same thing🤣
Great, the leader is having a ball of a time
Listening from Hungary, Europe.
Now I miss my primary school choir😭😭😭
Song at 6:06: Ukholo lwami
(Xhosa)
Ukholo lwami ndonyuka nalo,
ndilubambe ngesandla ndiyongena nalo
ekhaya ezulwini.
Noma kunzima noma ndiyonyuka
ukholo lwami ndiyongena nalo ekhaya ezulwini.
(Sotho)
Hay'o mathata
Modimo a le deng
Stunning. This has been a sh*tty year and it's easy to be down about humanity. But stumbling across this choir this morning gave me a bit more faith that humans are capable of creating singularly beautiful things. More please.
Much love from Zambia
All shapes & sizes , colours but one wonderful in common ! South Africans who cannot be proud of this land & people ??
Love the singing, drumming, dancing and costumes-- fantastic! uplifting and transformative (:
Proudly South African!! I love you guys,you have it.
Just what I needed, thank you Stellenbosch Chamber Choir. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This made me cry 😭Touched my heart man 😭😭😭
I'm over flowing with joy and the deepest of Love ever known to men kind. Humbled.
Thank you 🐘💕💕💕
More than any music I've ever listened to this gives me HOPE - that black and white can unite in harmony!
Its normal that you get shivers in you back listen this ???
