A song cover gives an original song a different flavor by applying different tunes and arrangements.
Oftentimes, a song cover turns out so spectacularly beautiful that it revives an original song, even if it’s decades old.
And that’s exactly what these siblings did.
A talented trio.
Yes, you read that right!
Talented trio, Biko (16), aka BikoStar, Manna Nhlangothi (13), aka MannaHero, and Mfundo (8), aka TauLion have some “old souls” inside their young bodies.
The Nhlangothi siblings are from Malvern, Worcestershire, and are the children of talented singer and actress Ayanda Nhlangothi and Sebone Rangata.
Biko’s Manna, a talented sibling trio, gained widespread recognition on TikTok and secured an invitation to audition for the upcoming season of America’s Got Talent.
Their journey reached new heights when they were invited to perform at the Festival of Nations in St. Louis, Missouri, where they dazzled an audience of over 100,000 people.
Festival director Jennille Amore discovered them on social media, leading to their inclusion in the event lineup.
They also got invited to The Jennifer Hudson Show in Los Angeles, Biko’s Manna is poised to continue their musical journey, driven by their love for music and a desire to achieve even greater heights.
The Biko’s Manna chose to sing ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ by the Bee Gees.
“How Deep Is Your Love” by the Bee Gees was composed by Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, and Maurice Gibb.
The classic hit was released in 1977 as part of the “Saturday Night Fever” film soundtrack.
This iconic song contributed significantly to the popularization of disco music during the late 1970s.
Although its inspiration doesn’t stem from personal experiences, the track stands as a timeless love ballad, exploring the depth and enduring nature of love, accompanied by the Bee Gees’ signature harmonies and falsetto vocals.
The song garnered critical acclaim, achieved commercial success worldwide, and earned the Bee Gees a Grammy Award.
It remains a beloved classic, symbolizing the group’s enduring musical legacy.
Imagine some teenagers singing a Bee Gees classic.
The Nhlangothi siblings also known as ‘Biko’s Manna’ gave the 70s hit song an amazing rendition, reviving it after over 45 years.
Manna aka MannaHero was on the acoustic guitar, BikoStar was their main vocalist, and yes, TauLion was messing at the back doing all sorts of things.
The young boy was even wearing a helmet and flippers!
MannaHero then started plucking the guitar strings and just seconds after, BikoStar began impressing everyone with her voice that’s perfect for the bossa nova song.
At almost half the point of the song, the eldest of the trio did an amazing curly falsetto.
The main singer was playing the tunes that somehow sounded like a mix of bossa nova and R&B, at least in my opinion.
But while the siblings do an incredible job performing, it’s hard to take your eyes off little TauLion’s antics.
This kid is quite the showman with his dance moves and gymnastics – which give the performance an extra kick!
The boys finally joined their eldest sister in the chorus and the three blended perfectly.
Watching BikoStar, you’d really see how she’s trying to immerse her feelings into the heartfelt message of the song.
One YouTube viewer didn’t shy away from sharing what she felt about the Nhlangothi siblings’ performance.
“Wow, I have loved that song and the Bee Gees since I was 11 years old. This is the best cover to me since I originally heard Barry sing it … Both of you totally nailed it. Again, WOW, young lady, your voice is silky smooth. I would and must say the young man played like a seasoned pro. May the favors of GOD continue to bless both of you. I must go and play it again.. I can’t wait to hear your next cover.”
I couldn’t agree more.
