The raunchy R B beats that have put South African artist Tyla on the global map are a far cry from the heavenly harmonies the Mzansi Youth Choir are known for.
But the fusion of two musical genres at the opening Fifa World Cup match between South Africa and Mexico on Thursday night created a version of the national anthem that reverberated around the globe. The historic performance took place at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City.
It was a daunting task for the choir, who found out only on their way to the airport that they would be performing with Tyla. But they loved every minute of the experience.
