Theres no spirit nor expression in any of them. This is supposed to an ecstatic welcoming song where everyone is happy, not something to be played at a funeral.
Graham Lea I agree with you that their voices are very pure and sound good, but the whole spirit of this song is gone, which gives it a lot less meaning. Its like a person saying hello in a dull way to their best friend they haven't seen in 10 years
White washed. No true African spirit nor rythym especially with the drums. Harmonies are off at times. Lacked luster and complete failure of a song I love so much. They can try singing some Celtic Woman songs. They have the voices for that.
Keep_It_Cotoure I sang this song in my concert choir and I’m a high school student but we had more energy and we actually had fun with this song. This song doesn’t have any African Spirit .
At least the audience liked it that is all that matters. We did this yesterday for our choir concert and we had drums and it didn't ruin it the audience loved it.
You guys get the spirit of South African gospel music. Thank you!
Loving hearing this arrangement that uses so many solo voices...very enjoyable!! Thanks for posting this video...much appreciated!
I don't think the person who arranged this realised that this is a hymn. It move me spiritually in any way.
