Master KG’s admitted it himself. The last thing he imagined was to witness how Jerusalema has brought joy, happiness and unity to the whole world.

Master KG and Nomcebo are taking over the world

A song performed in vernacular by the talented Nomcebo is quickly becoming the soundtrack of these unprecedented times. Jerusalema is a religious call for us to make our way back to the holy land, a powerful metaphoric reference to the ills of our society.

Jerusalema was already a hit record when it was released in 2019. So, how in the world did it become a global sensation one year later?

Well, we can give all the credit to TikTok and its South African creators. A simple group dance tagged the Jerusalema dance took off and trended on the platform.

Master KG took to Twitter to reflect on the point we kicked off this article with: He and Nomcebo had no foresight into the global impact Jerusalema would have when they were making the record in August 2019.

I remember last Year 29 August 2019 10pm Making #Jerusalema With @Nomcebozikode We Never Thought it Will Go This Far..This Shows that GOD has Time For everything…Thank You Everyone Involved in The success Of This Song ????????❤❤????
