Ndlovu Youth Choir launches debut album
Updated | By Lulutho Mkosi
The debut album by the internationally acclaimed Ndlovu Youth Choir drops on Friday.
The launch of the album was held at the headquarters of Sony South Africa in Johannesburg on Thursday.
The choir shot to fame following an appearance on the hit American reality show, America's Got Talent, which saw the choir reaching the semi-finals of the competition.
Earlier this month the choir sensation also won the Hollywood Music in Media Award for their Zulu rendition of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Shape of You’.
At the launch, conductor Ralph Schmitt said their recent experiences have been life-changing.
“I think it’s a fairytale what has happened to us over the last year and getting the message from AGT to come and audition, and going to that first audition and being warmly welcomed by the American public.
“I’ve been privilege to work with young people all over the place, but I can tell you this there is something about these singers.”
The choir is currently signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Entertainment which is a global joint venture together with Sony Music Entertainment Africa.
