i sang this in my choir, but we didnt do a bunch of movements, and we had girls, so ours was wayy higher pitch...and out boys sang to quiet..:( BUT I LOVE THIS!
guys, im tanzanian and all i can say is, great pronunciation!! seriously considering probably none of you speak swahili, that was really impressive. thanks for bringing the energy to the song that was originally intended, so many groups sing it standing still or turn it into a slow choral arrangement :P so nice one, really enjoyed it ;)
My high school choir had to sing this too when I was in choir 10 years ago. The choir teacher made us rehearse for at least 2 months and we did an awesome job. You guys did a great job :D Nice!
@mtotomwahili haha, ninge shanga lakini mimi ni mzungu mwenyewe :) natokea tz, lakini nime kuja uk kwa university. teh, wazungu huku hawawezi kuongea kiswahili kabisa! ndie mana nime furahi na hawa wimbaji x
This is great...nice simple choreography! My Chinese/American 3rd/4th graders are doing it in a few weeks! They're much younger than these guys, but have just as much energy and that "raw" African sound
UPenn is fascist. They covered up a drugging and raping of a female job applicant (search for Tracy McIntosh), and they routinely violated my civil rights for a decade. Anyone who goes to school there IS part of the problem, since they embrace the Penn name.
You did great, however a teensy weensy correction. "Pazeni sauti ili nasi TUimbe"not MUimbe. To use MUimbe, you would have to change it to "Pazeni sauti ili NANYI MUimbe." Ili nasi tuimbe... so that WE too can sing. Ili nanyi muimbe... so that YOU too can sing.
kewk kids my high school is singing this to and we challenge you if you accept come to El Centro CA and central union high school and ask for mrlegacy100
My school choir is doing this song and this video gave our director the idea of choreography. of which my friend and I are in charge. so inspirational! and we love this song.
now i've heard this song so many times it's amazing.. but does anyone else find it inronic that a group of ALL white men are perfoming a song writen in Swahili, and African language.. nothing wrong with it.. just a note
I think that the "PAAAAA ze ni SAAAAAA uti" person is mediocre. Don't tilt your head back when you sing, it pushes it out of tune, to my ear anyways, he sounds a little flat. But the beginning solo is great.
aw... i love this song. my choir didnt get to do it. we couldnt get it down in time =( i had the opening solo. this song is awesome you guys did a great job!
:)) you guys look so adorable. we also sang this for our high school choir. nice job guys. although it would be a lot better if you were faithful to the origin of the song. you could've made the african words sound more african.;) but it was nice anyway. congratulations.
I'm from Kenya so swahili is my native language and i must say i am really impressed, the accents and pronounciation for the most part are very well done! Good job
in the area allstate choir performance in new york at cortland, we did this song. you guys kicked ass. ours sounded a like excactly like yours. i loved performing this song. we didnt have solos though. great job guys. keep it up.
this is how this song is meant to be performed. you are supposed to have fun with it, be a little silly, enjoy it and totally go after it. i like it a lot with only men, it has a fuller more sophisticated sound. women tend to create a childish, little girl sound when they sing these songs. we have trouble having a full voice. men, not so much. kudos. great job!!!!!!
We sing this song at my school in fact that is were I saw this vid!
