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.
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 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.
I loved watching the conductor ❤
truth
That guy is having THE best time huh? 😁
100%
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.
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
All the nations , all the colours , all of us , singing a lullaby song . Bless !!!
That conductor was awesome!❤❤
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!
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.
Have you ever watched a colony of ants or a hive of bees?
the guy with the violin sure was having fun,
It doesn’t matter where we from let’s united as one
Beautiful piece from Africa ❤
The conductor doesn't move, he floats .
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.
They looked like they were having so much fun sing that. I love it.
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! What an amazing story behind this lovely choir!
This is the sight and the sound of the future. We’re gonna be okay. ☺️☺️☺️
The urge to sing this song has always just been a whim away!
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!!!
Found you through HONY. Forever grateful for that. This is incredible. ❤️
Me too! :)

Same - and here come the tears! It's just beautiful.
SAME HERE :)
Everyone struggling with depression and sadness in general should join a choir.
the world needs a whole lot more of this
Wonderful! It looked like a cross section of humanity, the Leage of Nations - so great to see, wonderful to hear!
THERE IS NO SOUND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN A GROUP SINGING TOGETHER
Awesome. This is what real music sounds like. More schools should challenge other schools...
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 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
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. 👍👍👍👍
So BEAUTIFUL, all these Wonderful People here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song and particularly this version, it never fails to make me happy
The entire group is awesome. All your harmony is awesome 👏🏽🔥
HONY brought me here. You’re all fantastic and keep making magic and fun!
What a great choir - so much diversity, but united as one in beautiful harmony - an excellent example for society
Awwwwwwwe-some! How much fun can we all have when we get along and sing!
That song just never seems to get old. Great performance!
Right???!!!!!
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.
What beautiful words, thank you so much!!
Makes me love people!
They are really good. I like this version. This song doesn't get old.
I would love to have that man direct my choir. Nice job kids.
My eyes full of tears... beautiful young people! Thank you.
This was released back when I was a kid. Love hearing it again with a sense of love and passion!
Music defines us as human beings and never fails to pull us together
Hats off to these young people.
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.
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!
What a fabulous cross section of kids. Well done
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 😊
anyone who has sung in a choir or an ensemble will tell you what a liberating and enjoyable experiences it is
My school played this song a lot of time
HONY thank you for sharing his story.. all i see here is pure magic from beautiful people ❤❤
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.
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 .
Thank you all ❤❤❤❤❤
“You all sound fantastic!” Thakyou all for taking me back to my choir experiences as a schoolgirl……Love you all xxx
The choir director is a former classmate of mine.
Brisbane Australia here... Very Good..
Truly Awesome nothing left too say.
Another gift from HONY. 👏👏🙌🙌
That was fabulous! When the human spirit comes together in song, it is so empowering and a state of grace. Thank you.
Just wonderful. Takes me back to 1956, Park forest I’ll,Jay Howell and the Singing Rockets from Rich Township High School. Wonderful Times
Even after 37 times, I love this....blessing and prosperity to everyone involved...
Love 😍
Nothing soothes the soul better than music
Beautiful! Came here from HONY. What an amazing story and what a wonderful performance 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Welcome! Beyond grateful that HONY led you here. We are so excited to share more of these amazing young people with you!
Inspiring! There's nothing like seeing young people making music..... You just warmed a brutally cold winter night in the UK.....
Fantastic.. congrats!
Many good versions about, but this has to be one of the very best. Thank you Young People NYC. Wonderful stuff.
Several times that Harmony gave me the chills. Love when that happens..
HONY brought me 🙌🏻

Very nice 😅😅😅😅😅
Fabulous! It made my spirit soar.
Watching and listening to young people not only sing excellent music but enjoy it bring tears to my eyes. Awesome director as well. Thank you guys, and bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
Harmony, both in the voices and the makeup of the choir.
One of my favorite songs growing up and even now!✌️
Gorgeous young people enjoying the day and singing their hearts out. Made me smile...
What a thrill it is to see young people putting in the effort to make beautiful music.
This was spiritual perfection.
When I first came to America as a seven year old boy I remember hearing this song .. So, every time I hear it, I become that little boy again …. I get a bit teary hearing it
Beautiful and the conductor participation is great.
These folks look like they’re having a wonderful time!! ❤️
This is such FUN! Takes me back to childhood when this song first hit. I found myself spontaneously singing along. GREAT job!!!
Judah's not asleep 🦁👈Nice the version of the lion sleeps
What an awesome Conductor/Leader/Teacher !! Job well done !!!
These young people are the BEST!
Such beautiful voices! I'll always start my mornings with this from now on!
Oh my!! That was great!
I was in YPC in Omaha NE back in the 70's.
Best years of my life.
This is a great shout out to you youngsters! This is one of the greatest songs of recent history! You nailed it! Hat's off to the conductor, singers and local participants...from an elderly country boy from Idaho!!
What a beautiful rendition of a great and wonderful song. These are beautiful young people singing with beautiful voices and I love the leader and his enthusiasm (also as Ralph Bater says, the violinist adds character to this video. THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUNG PEOPLE OF NYC!!!!!
WOW - Such a dynamic conductor and all of the young men and women of our future right there in NYC singing the perfect song!! Thank you!
One of my ABSOLUTE favourite songs
Awesome to see some young people sing so beautifully, clothed and in their right mind
The harmony's, and melody's mesh very well throughout the performance proving an energetic upbeat version of the song. Well Done!
HONY brought me here.😊
Wasn't it sweet...😁
Very 800wok dad 500hame game 200bus400
The blend and synchronization of all the parts together to create harmony and music is truly amazing and truly special. These young artists were GREAT!!
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 kids are what’s right with the world right now.PLEASE, more of this
One of my favorite old songs. Beautifully done.
So much joy on all those young, beaming faces. Great performance🙂🙂🙂
What a GREAT job...by everyone. It's a joy to watch!
WOW.!!! what beautiful talent, voices and singing .!

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
Awesomeness in the backyard!
