Cape Talk, Thursday evening

Naming from the Indlovu Youth Choir, which is how we've always known them, to they now are known as just the Indlovu Choir. Another international milestone, their collaboration with Queen drummer Roger Taylor, has been entered into consideration for two categories at the 2027 Grammy Awards. Roger Taylor just released a new album, Violence Insane in a Beautiful World, and track one on that album, which I've just downloaded, is Come On Summer, It's Party Time, which features the Indlovu Choir.

Sandila Majola is the choir team leader and a chorister. Joins us now from their base in Limpopo. Hello, Sandila. Hello, hello. Thank you for having me. It is a huge pleasure. I mean, the Intlovo choir has made so many South Africans so proud so many times. And yes, just another reason for us to dance. How did the collaboration with Roger Taylor come about? Well, I think it came about when we.

Took a twist, a spin on the Bohemian Rhapsody song. Remember when we did our remake, our Zulu rendition of Forhuman. Yes, and then the video went viral, and it happened that Roger Taylor gets hold of it. And yeah, he gets to see the video. And yeah, the rest is history. He wanted to work with us. He loved the video so much that when he was planning to do his next album,

You want to feature us. And the song on which you collaborate come on summer, it's party time. Did the choir have any contribution to make to the arrangement, the writing of the song, or did you just get what you had to sing and how you had to sing it? Yeah, we did write some lines there. Like you can hear, you can hear the vitamin Globus choir. Like you can hear the viposing global choir.
