An award winning a capella group from South Africa known as “The Soil” brought its harmonies to the UN recently.

The group participated in a “Music for Peace” event organized by the UN Academic Impact in early October.

After performing for the UN community in New York, the group also participated in a panel discussion which included a reflection on 20 years of freedom in their country.

Derrick Mbatha caught up with the spokesperson for the group, Ntsika Ngxanga, and first asked how he felt about singing at the United Nations.
