A South African choir from Limpopo had the audience on their feet after their performance on "America's Got Talent".
The Ndlovu Youth Choir who hails from a small town in the province has been performing together for 10 years.
For many of the kids, this was their first time travelling to the United States.
Choir director Ralf Schmitt shared that the kids came from one of the most impoverished communities and managed to uplift themselves.
To see them standing on the stage of America's Got Talent tonight, you can't help but burst with pride," he said.
The choir delivered a soul-stirring rendition of Vicky Sampson's song, African Dream.
Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Gabrielle Union and Julianne Hough had high praise for the choir.
"We've always been waiting for a choir like this, something we've never heard before. Your energy was literally bouncing off to me right there, it was great. You, I'm going to remember," said Simon.
The Ndlovu Choir got four yeses from the judges which means they move on to the next round.
The group is no stranger to viral fame; in 2018, their rendition of Ed Sheeran's, Shape of You with Wouter Kellerman got over two million views on YouTube.99.
