I just wanted to confirm your intuition that what the other children are singing is beautiful. On her recent stop in Madison, Georgia on her American tour, Amira sang this song and explained that one of the chants that the Zulu children are singing is "kuzolunga," which she said means "Be still; there is hope; there is one love that will always be there, which is of course the Lord's love and His presence."
Thank you for your lovely comments on this performance. I would not be surprised to see this song become a choral standard for people of many faiths. Its’ beauty and spiritually bought me to tears.
Amira is fond of collaborating, and crossing barriers. In the fb introduction, when she released this video, she translated one of the zulu phrases being sung as All will be well. There are others I don't know. The choir reached the finals of America 's got talent, so they are excellent on their own account, I gather a lot of their pieces are livelier. This piece was written for Amira, and she felt Amen was all that needed to be said. Who'd argue? Beautiful reaction too.
I believe this is a very emotional song even though you don't know what they're singing it's very prayerful .... very powerful My first thought was WOW ..... I've now seen an Angel singing and praying.... I've heard it countless times and I still get goosebumps
I found your reaction captured exactly the true meaning behind this magnificent performance. Your insight was spot on & I congratulate you, not only on this reaction, but all your reactions. What you say comes from the heart & it is not only interesting, but sincere & full of passion. Keep up the great work & lots more Amira please. Cheers Graeme
You feel it the same way as I do. I have no clue what the choir is singing, but I think it is a prayer in addition to the "amen". This clearly is a wonderful religious song. What I do know: Amira has a very strong faith and she loves to talk and sing about that wherever she can, also during her concerts. This melody is so pleasant to listen to and as you say: nobody is dominating the other here, this is pure singing together. On a high level, that's true....
Great reaction, enjoyed it. By the way, Amira's last performance was operatic (she sang the aria "Ebben ? Ne andrò lontana") and she was at her best. Really...
I not sure how to make a request with you. You might want to check Emma Kok singing Viola. Emma is a fifteen year old girl from Holland. She is very good.
