Sound up! Folks dancing with good music for pandemic emotional relief.

I encourage everyone to watch these five clips from around the globe. I absolutely love the last one from Angola.

If you have big speakers, crank it!

A group of young men and women sit together in a courtyard, eating plates of food, when one by one, they break into dance to the tune of Jerusalema, the 2019 hit by South African artists Master KG and Nomcebo Zikode. That video, which was filmed in Angola at the outset of 2020, has been viewed more than 13m times and sparked a global dance challenge even as countries closed their borders due to the pandemic.

Healthcare workers in South Africa and Kenya have taken part in the #JerusalemaDanceChallenge, along with a Catholic diocese in Montreal, a Zimbabwean human rights lawyer and Romanian firefighters, among many others.


Three of these can also be found on YouTube.
