Bohemian Rhapsody, but in isiZulu by the Ndlovu Youth Choir

The choir brought in isicathamiya harmonies and these incredible rhythms that make the song feel like it actually belongs here. Apparently, it’s the only translated version Queen has ever officially licensed, it took them two years to get the rights and the blessing from Brian May and Roger Taylor.

The idea was to imagine what the song would sound like if Freddie Mercury’s music had stayed on the continent where he was born, Africa. 🌍

Recommended. Take the time to listen to what he has to say. Note that this interview happened the same year that Mandela was released from prison, and therefore before the end of apartheid.

“Keep Hope Alive”: Remembering Rev. #JesseJackson, Civil Rights Icon Who Twice Ran for President

#DemocracyNow, February 17, 2026

" #CivilRights icon #ReverendJesseJackson died Tuesday at the age of 84. Jackson is known for working closely with Dr. #MartinLutherKingJr. and the #SouthernChristianLeadershipConference during the civil rights movement, and he later ran two groundbreaking presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, when he pushed to cut the Pentagon budget while increasing domestic spending on #education, #housing and #healthcare. Jackson was also involved in international campaigns from the #AntiApartheid struggle in #SouthAfrica to supporting #Palestinian self-determination. We remember his legacy and air interviews from his many appearances on Democracy Now! over the years."
