The international band took to TikTok to share a glimpse of their rehearsal with South Africa’s talented Mzansi Youth Choir on 22 October.
The clip, which has since gone viral, has amassed over 5 000 000 views and 230 000 likes on the social media platform.
The video features Mzansi Youth Choir performing a Zulu verse on ‘We Pray‘ – one of the band’s latest tracks on their newest album, Moon Music. The Zulu verse is composed by the choir’s very own Sidumo Nyamezele.

Translated to English, the Zulu verse is as follows: “When you kneel and pray, carry a good energy, and remain hopeful in faith.”
According Mzansi Youth Choir’s website, they have been flying the SA flag high in the United States for some time, where the group have joined Coldplay on multiple tracks featuring on their new album.
“When we first performed with Coldplay, we could never have imagined it would lead us to this moment for the launch of their album Moon Music,” the choir states.
“From our America’s Got Talent finals performance, to singing ‘Fix You’ live in front of thousands, every step has felt like a dream. And to think we were invited to join them again at the Rose Bowl and then record on two of their new tracks—Jupiter and Aeterna! We’re so grateful for all these experiences and can’t wait to see what’s next,” they added.
