Acapella Soul - The Lion Sleeps Tonight

TJIMC - New York City. Rome has a new crew. Catch them every weekend in Washington Square Park. *** Original Caption ***

I randomly heard these guys perform the weekend before while walking through the park. Blown away. I went back the next weekend with my FlipCam (remember those?) and took this video. I kept in touch with Rome for a while (white shirt - lions and tigers and bears) but we've lost touch. It's been many many years now. I still listen to them often and love that some of their music will live on forever on the inter-web. A wee ma way, a wee ma way, it's the lion song.

This is Soul.

This is what our community should be like. Peace, love, and music

The amount of uncle energy radiating from this video is unimaginable.

[imavctor]

Youtube is finally working like it's supposed to

[J.Trujillo]

Beautifully done, but there's some BBQs missing some uncles on this day.

[janinebain]

These gentlemen are delightful! Such unadulterated talent on display to be joyfully shared.

They dressed like the uncle that say “I ain’t see you since you was this small.”

[juliamontazzolli]

just upset about Disney studios not hiring these guys for lion king 2019 live-action

[britturk]

So many comments about uncles singing at a Barbecue, all i can say is if your uncles can sing so beautifully and choose to do so at family events you are very blessed.

Is there anyone in 2023 enjoying these wonderful voices?

[michaelmyers]

If there was more people like these FINE GENTLEMEN I believe the world would be a better place

[aikozepipsqueak]

Dude in the white muscle shirt straight up has the DOPEST voice i’ve ever heard

[sugaxsavage]

These guys need to do a recorded version

[CraigFH]

I come back to this every couple of months and it lifts me man!! Listening in 2025!

[フェフ]

everyone's gangsta until these dudes do Acapella

[ashleimichael]

Not many signed artists are capable of this Acapella ability. They must be the dislikers of this video because Y'all are amazing!!!

[maryellenmcgowan]

😂So great!! I am 75 now and still dance to this music. Remember from dances when in high school 💜💜💜💜

[coltwilson]

Me at 4 AM: “man I gotta get some sleep”

YouTube recommended: how about watch an acapella group do a street performance of the lion sleeps tonight?

Me: “Ah wimmba way ah wimmba ah”

[alejandroreyes]

My mans neck lookin like a snickers bar hitting those notes

[vonntegeka]

When your music teacher puts you in a group with your best friends

[shundawallace]

I've recorded these guy's twice in the NYC subways and love it when I run into them in random spots in NYC (it's always a treat)!
