yah... UP NIGERIA. can't wait for my church choir to sing this song

[marlaynas]

I sang this in concert choir over 8 years ago. Thank you for reminding me of those beaitiful memories ❤

I always thought no choir could rival Mormon mass choir when it came to rendering this piece but with this I am rethinking my stand. This is nicely done Yoruba carol and I am saying it as a Yoruba.

That young man has one incredibly beautiful voice; I can't get over it! Amazing rendition. 

[joannetheodorou]

OMG! Gorgeous -the soloist was superb, of course, but the entire chorus- with all those tricky rhythms and entrances- just blew me away!! Better then Morehouse ...and that's high praise. Bravo! Music like that is such a high.

I sang this song at a festival this year and I miss it! I miss all the amazing singers I met there.

Such a joyful version.  The delight on the faces of these kids, esp the soloists at the end, is so vibrant and moving.

This is not Jerry Bartucciotto singing the tenor solo part.

[amandatrayes]

It would be vastly improved without the percussion. Sorry.
