Described by The New York Times as “joy in the world”, the Limpopo-based Ndlovu Youth Choir is celebrated for its vibrant and infectious performances that blend melodic harmonies, powerhouse vocals, and captivating choreography. Their unique musical arrangements embody Africa’s dazzling legacy of choral splendor while seamlessly fusing indigenous South African sounds with global musical genres like pop, rock, jazz, soul, and electronic dance music.
From reimagining global hits like Toto’s Africa, Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You and Michael Jackson’s Man in the Mirror, to their groundbreaking work with sign language in What a Wonderful World, the Ndlovu Youth Choir continues to enchant audiences worldwide.
