Kenyans In Awe Of White Male Choir Singing 'Hakuna Mungu Kama Wewe': "Well Done Boys"

• A white male choir, @bumenschoir, decided to prank their choir director while he was sleeping during a bus ride
• In an Instagram video, the group broke into a popular Kiswahili gospel song, waking the director, Mr Bradley, from his sleep
• Their harmonies, diction and perfect intonation impressed netizens, who praised them for singing the song

A Mzungu (white) male choir, @bumenschoir, has delighted Kenyans after doing a rendition of a popular Kiswahili song.

Which song did the choir sing?

In a heartwarming video shared on Instagram, the choir members were seen aboard a bus, their voices harmonising beautifully.

The clip was captioned:

"Me and the boys when Dr. Bradley falls asleep."

It showcased a mischievous yet heartwarming moment between the choir and its choir director, Dr Bradley.

As Bradley dozed off peacefully at the front of the bus, the choir seized the opportunity to wake him playfully.

The group suddenly broke into the Kiswahili gospel song, Hakuna Mungu Kama Wewe.

They sang the tune beautifully, pronouncing each word with the correct diction and intonation.

The lyrics went:

"Hakuna Mungu kama wewe, hakuna Mungu kama wewe, hakuna Mungu kama wewe. Hakuna na hatakuwepo.Nimetembea kote kote, nimetafuta kote kote. Nimezunguka kote kote, hakuna na hatakuwepo."

Dr Bradley, still half-asleep, couldn’t help but smile proudly as he listened to his choir’s harmonious performance.
