Ndlovu Youth Choir celebrates South African heritage with nationwide tour
South Africa's cherished musical ambassadors, the Ndlovu Youth Choir, are set to embark on their much-anticipated 2025 Heritage Tour this September.
From their humble beginnings in the small village of Moutse in Limpopo, the Ndlovu Youth Choir has expanded its influence beyond South African borders, captivating audiences at iconic venues such as Carnegie Hall and the Berlin Philharmonie.
In an enthusiastic message shared on social media, the choir expressed their excitement: 'Tour rehearsals are in full swing. We are so thankful to Stellantis for driving our tour and taking us around the country.'
Their return to South Africa signifies a homecoming, where they will reconnect with their roots and showcase their talents to audiences who have followed their journey.
Ndlovu Youth Choir has graced platforms like America's Got Talent, which have earned them international acclaim, alongside collaborations with global megastars including P!nk and Kygo. Remarkably, the choir has also partnered with leading entertainment giants like Disney and Netflix, resulting in raising over $5 million for UNICEF. But this September, they're bringing their celebrated talents back home, where the journey began.
The Heritage Tour is shaped as more than just a series of concerts; it stands as a national celebration, highlighting the rich cultural tapestry of South Africa. While the Ndlovu Youth Choir has consistently sold out shows in major metropolitan centres, this tour is particularly ambitious, focusing on small towns and underserved communities.
For many South Africans, attending a performance will offer the rare opportunity to witness the full-scale international production of the choir live in their own hometowns.
Each performance promises an interactive and joyous experience, brimming with a blend of reimagined traditional African songs, local original compositions, and iconic global hits, all delivered in the Ndlovu Youth Choir's signature style. Audience members will be encouraged to stand, sing, and dance throughout the evening as they celebrate the spirit of the nation, its music, and above all, its people.
In collaboration with Jacaranda FM, the tour promises a vibrant celebration of South African music, dance, and unity, reaching communities nationwide.
