Ndlovu Youth Choir is back performing at America’s Got Talent, after being invited to perform in an All-Stars edition of the popular talent competition.
The Choir rose to fame after stunning the judges in the 2019 edition of AGT, reaching the finals!
The Choir performed their original song We Will Rise on the AGT All-Stars auditions on Monday, to a very complimentary Simon Cowell.
Watch the joy erupt in the video below:
We’re living our dream and are thankful for every opportunity to showcase our talents. 🇿🇦 We Will Rise! @AGT, we loved being back and are honoured to officially be an All-Star. 🌟#AGTAllStars

Since its inception in 2009, the Ndlovu Youth Choir has become one of the world’s most treasured groups.
Their unique musical arrangements, powerhouse vocals, irresistibly combined with mesmerising choreography and infectious energy have inspired millions across the globe.
The Ndlovu Youth Choir’s incredible run on America’s Got Talent (Season 14) made them the first choir in the history of either America’s Got Talent or Britain’s Got Talent to reach the final. Their soul-stirring performances won hearts and minds around the world.
After their final AGT performance, legendary music producer and record executive Simon Cowell labelled the performance ‘The best final I have ever sat on in my life’. He went on to sign the choir and together with SYCO and Sony Music they released their first album, which debuted at number one on iTunes.
This means so much to us. Baba @SimonCowell thank you for all you have done for us. We love and appreciate you. 🙌🏾❤️ https://t.co/3AtQeAFn4d

Since AGT, the choir has undertaken two European tours, sold out every public performance and performed on numerous local and international television and radio shows.
Performance highlights include a performance to over 115 000 people in Cape Town and The Match in Africa which featured Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Bill Gates and Trevor Noah.
During the Coronavirus crisis the choir continued to offer hope and inspiration with their enthusiastic COVID-19 musical public service messages which were shared by the WHO and the United Nations. They joined many of the world’s top A-list performers on a virtual stage when they were featured during the Global Citizens One World: Together at Home virtual concert.
