How wonderful is their singing! And they seem so happy to be doing it - it must be have been really fantastic to see people doing something they love so much.

There is just something about the music in Africa. It is so surface in everyone's spirit. A song breaks out without any self-conciousness or shame. We have a lot to learn from the music (and especially the children singing music) of AFRICA!!!!
