Drakensberg Boys Choir on Saturday night left the audience mesmerised by the amount of talent they displayed at the Sir Seretse Khama Barracks.

Not only did they pull a crowd but the youthful singers, some as young as seven left the audience lost for words by the clarity of their sound and the technical precision they showed during their performance.The two-part performance of the boys led by choir conductor Johanne Van Der Sandet was humbling to listen to and watch, which saw the boys in the first round dishing out songs written and composed by different artists from all corners of the world as far as Russia, Japan, Haiti and Slovakia.
