Andre is a GOAT . Stellenbosch is the best choir in the world

[pred]

Yea my sister on the cahone is feeling the vibe! I'll let y'all know how many times I could listen to this on loop

[joburgerer]

When the 'Nkosi sikelel' came in I burst into tears without warning. What a way so start a Wednesday morning! This choir is a godsend.

[brigittegledhill]

The drummers' smiles are as much as joy as the music itself ;-) Love it.

While we go into uni with hopes to graduate and go back into society to make meaningful contributions, I think that one of the worst days for a SUC chorister is the day they graduate🤧

[Ettenyljioni]

This is such a soothing song. How inspiring to not only hear the incorporation of beautiful indigenous music but also realize that after four generations past the codification of Apartheid (1948), the children of Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana, and Dutch are joyfully singing together as one.

[lydiaochieng-obbo]

This music is extra ordinary. This choir and two others I have listened to represent the South Africa of tomorrow where everyone is united as one rainbow nation. If all could live by the messages these choirs send through music South Africa would go places. Beautiful music anytime !

[MM-mdof]

This choir is like nothing else on this earth. I am so grateful to these wonderful young people and their remarkable conductor for their music.

[drplessisvandermerwe]

So sublime I am weeping. You’re voices are like those of angels and here on earth we have our own angels in this choir. André van der Merwe you are a genius

[mariaw.]

One of the most beautiful choirs I've ever heard: and all made up of black and white young adults. Just beautiful power here.

[universo]

I really enjoy listening to this choir! I admire every member!!! I wish God protect each of you!!! Receive my hug! Thank you for the wonderful work you do!

[SusanMSwart]

Maestro … there are not enough accolades for you and your musical genius, working with this incredible choir. I salute you. Susan

[peneloperandall-davis]

As a former opera singer, now facilitator and teacher, I am SO entranced by this choir. This, for me, is what all singing is about: authenticity, free breath and movement, great technique, and the 'wow' factor which makes my spine tingle. This is fantastically special work!

[esenunukogbon]

The drummers were an absolute joy to watch

[PUAlum]

Wonderful to see the future of South Africa! Different color faces and beautifully harmonious voices. I pray that's a good and true sign.
They'll need that to deal with the water problems we share with them here in Los Angeles!
God bless these kids!!

[merlemarie]

You just know when Stellenbosch Choir uploads a new video it's going to be too beautiful.

[laverdadluzmundana]

The control André has of his choir when the bass and tenor come in a bit strong at 0:25 and he immediately tones it down with a left hand gesture shows how much work they all put into this beautiful piece.

[antm]

The beauty of the human voice never ceases to comfort me. Seeing the joy of singing on the faces of these young people makes my heart soar! It's so nice to, once again, see this wonderful chorus in a "normal" performance setting. Thank you for sharing this outstanding group with the world! Much appreciated!!
