We are delighted to announce that the Ndlovu Youth Choir has won an award at this year’s SAMA for their album “Africa”. The SAMA is the South African Music Award, which has been awarded annually to successful musicians since 1995. They beat four other nominees in the “Best Contemporary Album” category – including Wouter Kellerman. The latter got the ball rolling with his support for the first single recording of the Ndlovu Youth Choir. He suggested the Ed Sheeran cover “Shape of You” in the Zulu version by the Ndlovu Youth Choir for the Grammys. The resulting attention turned the choir into what it is now: a successful professional music act that is in demand internationally.
And that is also the reason why the Ndlovu Youth Choir was able to bring home a second SAMA Award. They were also honored in the category “International Achievement”.
They have now rightly received this award and we congratulate them wholeheartedly!
