Biko’s Manna
These three siblings from South Africa have a huge audience on social media.
They have over 200,000 subscribers on YouTube and 1.5 million followers on TikTok.
Those numbers alone speak so much about the talent they possess, don’t you think so too?
This SA trio went viral on TikTok and like what most people say, the rest was history.
Eventually, Biko’s Manna was invited to audition at America’s Got Talent and they were also invited on several TV interviews.
Biko’s Manna consists of siblings Biko, also known as BikoStar, Manna Nhlangothi or MannaHero, and Mfundo, aka TauLion.
According to the trio’s mom, Ayanda Nhlangothi, Tennille Amore, the creative director of Festival of Nations, saw them on social media and quickly jumped into a call to invite the siblings to sing at an event.
“She discovered Biko’s Manna on social media just scrolling,” Ayanda said. “She had to stop when she saw the kids and heard them. She reached out to us and the next thing we were on Zoom, and then we were preparing for them to perform at the festival.”
‘I Want You Back Cover’ by The Jackson 5
Biko’s Manna’s YouTube channel is filled with song covers and other performances of the trio.
But perhaps one of the most challenging song covers they’ve ever done was The Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back.’
The song is one of The Jackson 5’s timeless hits. It was released in 1969 and according to Wikipedia the song became the first number-one hit for the band on January 31, 1970.
“It went to number one on the Soul singles chart for four weeks and held the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for the week ending January 31, 1970. ‘I Want You Back’ was ranked 104 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.”
Can they pull off such a difficult song? Let’s all find out.
Biko was in charge of the acoustic guitar and she’s also the lead singer of the group.
While BikoStar and MannaHero were the dancers, the former was also the bass guitarist.
Seconds after the intro, Biko immediately went off straight to Cloud Nine singing the first few lines of the song.
On the side, Manna was nailing the smooth-sounding bass while TauLion was gliding like a boos on his feet.
The trio complement each other, they blend perfectly and the showmanship they have in their performance is so soothing to both the eyes and ears.
One viewer couldn’t help but praise these young talented kids.
“These three are fantastic. The girl is an excellent singer and so is the boy. They play very well and give wonderful performances. The little boy is a show in itself. It seems like that case of a younger brother who loves being among his older brothers, no matter what they are doing. The important thing for him is to be with the group, and this reveals his potential too: he does what his brothers let him do: sometimes he dances, sometimes he sings and sometimes he plays. Sometimes he does all this with astonishing joy. They all do what they do with incredible joy. Congratulations. May God continue to bless you. Very happy to see.”
