Hailing from the Moutse Valley in Limpopo, the Ndlovu Youth Choir rose to international acclaim after becoming finalists on America’s Got Talent. Their distinctive sound has since taken them to Carnegie Hall (New York), a headline appearance at the Africa Festival in Germany, and tours across Europe and the USA. They have even performed for Trevor Noah, King Charles, and Bill Gates.
