"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.
Netizens were equally impressed, amazed by how well the all-white choir sang in a foreign language.

Max was dressed in a Samburu outfit with shukas tied around his waist and one draped over his shoulder.
