A Korean choir warmed the hearts of Kenyans after its performance of a Swahili song entertained President William Ruto during his visit to South Korea.
In a video that has since gone viral on TikTok, the Korean choir exhibited its prowess in the Swahili language as they sang the Mkono wa Bwana (God’s hand) song by Zabron Singers.
Additionally, the choir sang in articulation as they harmonized their voices to complement the original version of the song.
The performance involved four males and three females, who skillfully transitioned through the stanzas of the popular song.
In a video posted on TikTok, President William Ruto and First Lady Rachel Ruto were seen sitting in a lobby together with their counterparts as they seemingly enjoyed and sang along the popular tune.
