Queen's classic 'Bohemian Rhapsody' finds a new voice in Zulu

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa — The Ndlovu Youth Choir, which began in South Africa's rural Limpopo province and rose to international fame on America's Got Talent in 2019, has released a bold new project: a Zulu-language version of Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

It's the first time Queen has ever authorized a translation of the iconic rock anthem. The choir's artistic director, Ralf Schmitt, says the band's surviving members and the Mercury Phoenix Trust gave their blessing.

"We realized that we'd be the first translation that's been commercially released," Schmitt said. "So, we're very honored to have got the permission, and we hope that we've done the piece justice."

The release comes during the 50th anniversary of Bohemian Rhapsody. Schmitt says the idea of creating an African version emerged while the group was working in Tanzania. "Of course, Freddie Mercury was born Farrokh Bulsara in Zanzibar," he said.

I tried to post a clip from it but kept getting a 404 forbidden error. I gave up and just posted the video link.
