Drakensberg Boys'choir

[stoicman31]

Three viewers dislike this? Are their hearts made of stone?

[cocochanelleke]

@stoicman31

perhaps they are stuck a bit, in their minds

[Flash5421]

damn this was recorded long time ago? when was this before 2005?

[MirkoSB2]

what is the name of this song? what a great performance!!!

[izzie955]

@MirkoSB2 amavolovo

[TheChorister51]

Excellent. Love it!

[ducinek]

Amavolovolo is one of my favourite songs. And Drakensbergs one of the best choirs in the world..!!

[icebatski]

wow, knock-out gorgeous!

first tune is Amavolovolo and then its' "Amabayiskile" or Ahma Bicikli? Anybody know for sure? Lyrics of the 2nd song are something like:

" In 1930 we had a tricycle and only a tricycle,

in 1940 we had a bycycle and only a bicycle,

in 1950 we had a motorbike and only a motorbike,

in 1960 we had taxis.”

marvelous song.

[xforeverfadingx]

This awesome. We're singing this for choir. It sounds kinda hard.

[isiahtothebone]

lol this ones easy.

[xforeverfadingx]

We have to do the motions too... o.o

And preform it in a world wide choir preformance.

And I'm pretty sure I died of fear when I heard who was coming.

[isiahtothebone]

Those kids were so happy I choked up.

A wonderful joyous video

[dundriz09]

wow :D first time hearing this and i love it already....keep it up boys :)

[calmafrica]

Can anyone please post the lyrics and the translation of "Amavolovolo". I think it is a kind of a marriage-song and has a funny meaning. Amavolvovolo means Revolver, doesn't it?

N'kosi sikeleli africa!!!

[picardythirds]

there's a wonderful arrangement (rather, transcription) of this by Robert De Boer. You should be able to find the lyrics there.

[saaasaaaa]

I can't believe I'm going to play in a musical with them. Performing in The Netherlands and in Capetown and Pretoria.

[cocochanelleke]

@ saaasaaaa

Where and when in The Netherlands?

Please let me know, thanks!

Coco

[saaasaaaa]

@ coco,

I suppose you're Dutch..

In november, van 3 november tot 8 november in Park Schouwburg in Hoorn. De musical gaat over een meisje, die een nelson leert kennen, en hij vertelt haar alles over het leven van Nelson Mandela..

[cocochanelleke]

Thanks, I hope to see you there in November!

P.S.:

Frightfully cold , windy and early dark over here then; please bring a warm coat for yourself.

Groetjes,

Coco

[singich]

I don't understand Spanish; I only have a dictionary.

Thanks, muchas gracias!

[Vivianne023]

They were in the Netherlands! Really i love them!

[cocochanelleke]

Vivianne,

wanneer en waar als ik vragen mag?

Groetjes

[Vivianne023]

Cocochanelleke,

Dat was in de zomer 2008

Juni, Juli ergens!

en waar was verschillend

ik was in Alkmaar maar ze

zijn ook in zeist en nog ergens

geweest. Mijn nicht zat in het bestuur

dus vandaar dat ik er was!

Groetjes,

[cocochanelleke]

dankjewel Vivianne -

dat is mij ontgaan vanuit Utrecht; volgende keer beter wellicht.

I'm not half jealous you saw them live ;)

Coco

[mkwapower]

Amazing..

[Nouksl]

You guys are great!

And Ora, have you already seen Leonor on Youtube?

I'll hope you become a famous rapper, and Leonor a famous singer, en you really must do a duet!

I think that will be fantastic!

Xx Anouk.

[XxOlilyY]

Their so good! their for the firs time in Holland now, and yesterday was a BBQ with them and I was there to! It was so much fun! I recognize some of them :) Their so amazing good!

[ProFriend]

bummer! If I had known they were going to be in the Nederlands I'd have flown over to see them. Tot ziens!

[cocochanelleke]

where from, asked the curious ....

:)

[stikeMedia]

It seems their singing and performing style has changed a lot in recent times. They used to sing a lot more Europeen-style music. One thing that has remained constant is the high quality of their performances.

[ProFriend]

The bulk of their music is still European classical. This is just one small part of what they do. A year before this DVD was released they did one of Carmina Burana - a very difficult neo-classical piece.

[cocochanelleke]

... what they do is wonderful, so far.

And I love the non-European music they do, so far. Haven't heard anything else from them, so far ;)

:)

[vampiremusic7654321]

yay i got to sing with them!!!!!! i love them

espcially lloyd <3

haha

and where can i get a pair of those boots

[erthenia]

makes me proud to be South African!

[techcrewgod]

[ilovecsoki]

I love it! They're fantastic!

Where can i find lyrics to the songs?

[superheroCLAIRE]

I remember going on stage and being ok we gotta do really good if we even wanna be half as good as them!! YOU GUYS KEEP SINGING UR AMAZIGNG i wish iw as back in south africa on tour ur SO LUCKY!!!!

[chadzerf]

Holy crap.. I cant even remember ever saying that speech. Im such a white little choir boy. Love it! hahahaha. Thanx Johnny!

[ProFriend]

Chad, you were great in that DVD performance. You and the choir have made for many a happy evening in our home. Now I'm even thinking of a vacation to SA, including a stop at the school, of course!! Thanks Chad!!

[pegason100]

[NSResponder]

These boys rock!

-jcr

[Ruhrscout]

Its funny to look at the Kid. Hope of future.

[mattbod]

I was staying near these guys but missed their weekly performance. I took a bike and visited the school though and was made really welcome. They are a great crowd and would love to see them in Europe.

[janeym]

I saw them live! they were absolutely amazing!

[technobabe]

Just love it.

[pyjnoy]

oh, they're so great!! :D

[bestpi]

The Drakies Rock. The only choir that counts as their PE credit too!

[BAUNO420]

what's the title of that song? it's amazing!!

[ProFriend]

The first one is Amavolovolo, the second is Amabayiskile.

[ilovecsoki]

Thank you!

[paulbisking]

miss the lil drakies!

[mu2cy]

....ilililiiii!...guyz u go!

[jpm2141]

Great ! Fantastic! I love this choir. Thanks for sharing.

[ngqibs]

I miss you Drakies!

[contrarymotion]

so much energy. looks like so much fun.  These kids are great!

[Cameron5tevens]

They are so amazing. The boys performed at my church in '02 (if I remember the date correctly) and they were absolutely astonishing. My family and I hosted three of the boys for the weekend and they couldn't have been any nicer!

The DVDs are definitely going on my wish list.

[thesehazeleyes81]

I'm in the Glen Ellyn Children's Chorus and we were fortunate enough to sing with them when they toured here. I can honestly say it was the most inspirational experience of my life! They have so much energy and passion and it shows.

[tamlucso]

if the kids can sing happily together why can't the grown???

[colenso05]

Why not enjoy the whole show? The DVD is available fron the dbcs website, along with 2 others and 14 CDs which show off the wide range (from Bach to Bobby Darin!)and matchless musicianship of this world-class choir.

[ProFriend]

Just remember that the DVDs are only available in PAL format, so if you are in the USA or Canada, you'll need a special player.

[Mlindos]

Like the first song but the second one is the bomb!

[joeme]

Great ! Simply great ! Thank you for publishing this video !

[eugenestockil]

So baie oulik!

[sloopy312]

Your joy is contagious. God bless each of you. blaine
