Jerusalama, which features vocalist Nomcebo, was a global TikTok sensation in 2020 and added much cheer to people around the world at a time when the Covid-19 pandemic was rife – even President Cyril Ramaphosa encouraged South Africans to keep their spirits up with this song.

Fans of the song took to the app to recreate a choreographed dance routine by Angola-based Fenómenos do Semba dance group.

Since then the “Jerusalema” challenge videos have been viewed over 1 billion times and helped the track achieve international recognition and chart success in Europe and the US.

On YouTube the song has been viewed more than 372 million times since it premiered in December 2019.
