Master KG’s spellbinding ‘Jerusalema’ has become a global phenomenon. Inspiring people on every continent to share their videos of its irresistible dance (#JerusalemaDanceChallenge), the track keeps hitting landmark after landmark while earning famous fans such as Cristiano Ronaldo.
‘Jerusalama’ still continues to expand its huge impact, most recently with a remix which added the Grammy-nominated Afro-fusion icon Burna Boy alongside the original’s featured vocalist Nomcebo. Now the remix is boosted by the launch of its official video, which boosts a joyous, high energy performance from Burna Boy to elevate its feel good vibe.
It only takes one listen to discover why ‘Jerusalama’ has exploded. From its sun-kissed beat to the sweet vocals from Nomcebo, it’s an immediately uplifting antidote to the challenging times we’re experiencing. Recorded in the Zulu language, it translates as a gospel-style message: “Jerusalema is my home / Guard me, walk with me / Don’t leave me here.”
