Glad you like them :D they have brilliant energy and, call me a sentimental old fart, but the fact that it brings together black and white kids adds an extra tug at the heart strings. Perhaps the future isn't something to fear for in South Africa or the world as a whole...

Love this one too

And here's a footage of them performing live. The LPBC performing a Pilipino Christmas song.

Listen to that crowd clap! Lots of Bayan Ko Clapping Naysayers will be very angry.

And the low voices! Hehe... This Christmas song never fails to put a smile in my face. Our school choir, which I was a member, sang this when I was 13. Enjoy!

By the way phlibera I'm not being rude and ignoring you but my bandwidth seems to have been squeezed and I'm having trouble streaming the videos. I'll report back tomorrow :D

Wow! I really like Drakensberg Boys Choir. It gave me chills while listening to them. I like their voice tones and note ranges. It sounds do full and alive. Plus, watching them gives extra enjoyment too. :)

Glad you like it. I thought Libera fans everywhere would love their arrangement of "Thankful". :-)

Ok, please do watch it and tell me what you think. I thought the arrangement of Thankful would ring familiar to any Libera fan's ear. Especially the harmonies after the first chorus.

Very nice I enjoyed them both but especially liked the first one, very haunting tune beautifully sung.

Thanks, Sue. Chloe looked young in the first video. Love her in Yanni Voices, especially in the song "Tribute" with Nathan Pacheco. Very very nice when she sings the high notes. Though my favorite soprano is still Sissel from the Netherlands, I think. :-)

Come on guys there must be many more choirs out there. Most people around the world who have heard of choirs will know about Kings College, Cambridge, but rather fewer will have heard of the choir at St John's College, Cambridge. Now I really really like King's, but people who know their music often say St John's is better.
