That's pretty amazing--especially when they sing the second verse in their own language and people in the crowd start applauding and you realize that the lyrics are not just lyrics about a "people who will not be slaves again" but statements of defiance against a government that may gas them, shoot them, imprison them without trial or torture them, simply for singing that song.

That was chilling, thank you so much for posting! There's not a more powerful human mean than music, and that songs speaks directly to my heart.

There were big chunks of that video where I couldn't understand a word-- is Patti LuPone protesting?
