The Lion King on Broadway - Grassland Chant

[CommentaryChick]

Favorite song of the play.

[7deepbreaths]

Does anyone know what language is this? Some sort of Bantu language...sounds South African...Zulu language, or Botswana. If you know, please enlighten...I am working with a group of young children to perform this song as a part of a Black History month program and we have about 2 weeks to nail it. I would like to be able to at least inform them what language they are singing. They already have it, for the most part...the dance teacher got them started..I have to tighten up the musicianship.

[mikewill9511]

@7deepbreaths It seems to be a combiantion of different African languages...

[latinoboy1605]

1:30 anyone else get there childhood slap them in the face?

[Kipfan410]

This really is my childhood!

[1stbrasscaptain]

I know that everyone can hear this on YouTube but you must hear it live (preferably New York)...it's one of the most spine tingling songs on this planet. Everyone is singing this live, please please please see this show and then you'll know what I am raving about. 

[wizardwarrior713]

this is the most cultured broadway show i know. i love it. it draws you into the african world, and makes the lion king more real and epic.

[JDfanforever]

man, this brings back memories. I saw this in toronto all the way back in 99 (i was only 4) it made my 4 year old life :D

[FreaquedeMusique]

I saw the lion king in london

[LOTSOFLAUGHSDOTCOM]

man these ppl are really good!..

[iamalighthouse1]

I can already picture seeing Mufasa and young Simba, running and playing with each other in the grass. And Zazu coming to give the morning report. ^_^ I love this song. Then again, I pretty much love all of the The Lion King broadway songs!

[JoJoStarz123x]

Beautiful.

[HeavyMetalMad99]

@temujin650 please can u tell me what instruments are in this song? Or anyone else who has any idea :S thanks

[johncenalover609]

When i listen to this song and close my eyes, I can picture a grassland with a gentle wind blowing.

[DreamslikeCoins]

i wish i could just watch this musical on broadway over and over for the rest of my life!! :-)

[EmeraldBeat]

I cried, too. lol Absolutely incredible.



[Xternium]

Is there a reason that half of this video has nothing playing?

[superstar14girl]

@Xternium i wondered the same exact thing. i was like "is there another part of the song?"

[MissChelDorado]

I <3 the lion kinq. Such qreat music.

[SouljaGirl101004]

When I was 9 I played Young Nala when it toured to Boston. this brings back so many memories that I will treasure for the rest of my life =]

[ambskater97]

@SouljaGirl101004 You are officially the coolest person on this site.

[r0xy567]

I would totally see this play FOR THE THIRD TIME! the insane talent they have, everytime I hear the songs, I imagine what happened, but it's nothing like the real show live :)

[ilymichael4eva]

my dance class danced this for sprinq show FUSION<3

Hopewell 2006-2010(:

[fivefamly]

it sounds like their saying "Who's yo mama!"

[JaneJWeir]

Also iwie find ich die Deutsche Version vom Stimmvolumen her schöner ;D

[tophrules0978]

Okay, should I go and see this broadway show? I'm not a big fan of it but it seems like is one of those shows that can really kick ass.

[Conker7]

This song is addicting. ZoomzoomZOOM... ZOOM... ZOOM

[TheSablirab]

Haven't seen the show, yet, but I always lisented to this song, ALL the time whenever I was at Borders (before they stopped letting you hear the CD's). Always one of my go to songs.

[Queenmaquettah]

The original cast was the best one =)

[BlinkinFirefly]

i love you for posting these <3

[garden4garden]

[VincenzoDarling]

[KeroDono]

2 years ago (when I was in 5th grade) we had done a HUGE Lion King play. This was one of the songs we did for a dance scene. It was AMAZING. I'll have to upload it sometime soon.

[AMYgabriiela]

[SethBOYY]

@RoseyRed088 hey do you by any chance know the language they used for this

[mikewill9511]

@RoseyRed088 I totally agree. And the best Disney Pixar movie is Toy Story. The trilogy I mean... :)

[lesliehollandpryor]

I really love the lion king its the best musical/ movie i have ever seen and have been obsessed with it since i was two years old. Even at a young age the talent of this musical/ movie has moved and inspired me.

[animalgirlnumber1]

This is the most epic Lion King Song! I just got back from our schools winter dance concert and my friend did an awesome dance to this song! Plus i saw the broadway musical! AWESOME!

[TheSuperStarDaja]

[anima1pals]

[TheSuperStarDaja]

@anima1pals yeaaaaaaaa one day remember this name okay LADAJUNA never forget it lmao

[ninjagirl37]

does anyone know if its going on tour anytime soon? cause if it is i wanna know. i live so far away from the places it places regularly. and if it has a website id like to know that too lol

[Nassahila428]

I think they are constantly on tour... They'll be in Iowa in January or something and I think they just tour the whole country. Check your local theatre schedule.

[Fuleadeare]

Busnell in hartford, CT

[jameslee246]

lol idc about the plastic animal ppl or costumes in the broadway, i just like the live music!

[lovechild98]

i saw the lion king on broadway! cried my amazed eyes out. in the beginning when the animals came out. blew my mind.

[kalliopekrash]

omg! i did the same. the opening music and the costumes was just so beautiful that i was moved to tears!!

[notevenhere]

@lovechild98 me too. i've never cried just out of the blue like that.

[pudonnutlehti]

@lovechild98 me too! it was a dream come true to see it when I saw it in London.

[daniyellowjello]

@lovechild98 me tooo <3<3

[osakinanakomatsu]

@lovechild98 I cried during the circle of life as well, I just couldnt help myself,it is so overwhalming and so beautiful! I felt so embarrased till I noticed my bf was crying as well,lol

[kalliopekrash]

@lovechild98 i did too! 

[SuperDappleleaf]

@lovechild98 Where I saw it, the elephants and the giraffes were the best, in my opinion. :D

[pomfan07]

@lovechild98 everyone cries during that. When I interviewed one actors on the touring production, she said that the procession was her favorite part because the audience brings such an energy to the show and seeing people that moved by a performance makes her want to come and work everyday.

[MizBizL]

@lovechild98 yes I'm not the only one that cried :)

[1stbrasscaptain]

I love the bass in this song; I went to see the Lion King on Fourth of July weekend and it was brilliant....completely flawless. Wicked and Lion King are the best!!

[sexymexicangirl1]

lol i had to dance to this for modern i thought it was weird but i ended up enjoying it☺

[saki503]

haha, me too.

[pinkroxi678]

My dance teacher did an amazing modern dance to this song.

[gjyswimmergal]

im doing this song for my dance class, the coreography is amazing

[Pooogle515]

I've gone to see it twice, and I've got to say that the Lion King is the best musical EVER.

[broadwaymystic]

Its a MUSICAL!!!

[datfancychick23]

i saw the broadway play it was amazing .i would see it again and again

[DanCeFreaKy38]

@- temujin650

Do you have'' The stampede'' on youtube to?

can somebody help me please? I'm looking for the clip...

greetzzzz F.

[temujin650]

I had all of the songs up, but I don't have any video. A lot of the songs I put up have been removed due to copyright issues. Apparently they don't want anyone to be able to see these, because it's very hard to find anything decent on Youtube.

[mikewill9511]

@temujin650 How do you do so they don't erase them for supposed copyright? :)

[luiz3e7]

yeah just search mufasa's death on youtube
