A group of young men who are picked from different high schools, colleges and universities within Kenya are making a mark world wide for their wide vocal range, diverse pan-African repertoire, mature artistry, drama, and, oh, the costumes!

The Boys Choir of Kenya aka Kenyan Boys Choir has earned acclaim abroad as a disciplined youth program with a work ethic that parallels the King’s College Cambridge Choir and the Harlem Boys Choir of New York, according to their online profiles.

Their performance involves a wide-ranging repertoire - from traditional Masaai and Samburu chants to contemporary pieces from around Africa, modern pop music and not forgetting the regular corpus of European and American choral repertoire with other classics from around the world.

Recently they posted a beautiful moment they had with two of hollywood's screen sirens.

Kenya Boys Choir wrote, "#Recap2016 Not everyday you get Jada Pinkett Smith and Salma Hayek Pinault to dance to your tune. We had lots of fun w/ these two icons at the Global Citizen festival this year ???????? #JadaPinket

Jada Pinkett who also had a blast dancing with the Kenyan Boys Choir wrote, "Hanging out today at the GUCCI Global Citizen Fest in NYC with Salma Hayek Pinault and THE BOYS CHOIR OF KENYA . Come out. It'll be a good time!"

Check out her video.

While Salma Hayek wrote, "Jada Pinkett Smith and I learning some moves from The Kenyan Boys Choir. Chime for Change #globalcitizen #gcf #jadapinkettsmith #dance."

Check out some of the reactions to Jada and Salma dancing to the Kenyan vibes...

Daryl Mac I love this video. I overheard a conversation last week dealing with SOME Africans and African Americans don't care for one another. Videos like go a long ways in putting the negative to rest. Way to go Jada, Selma and the Choir.

Brian Orare Kenyans know how to have fun and I think Jada has some Kenyan blood in her. It's like she knew the moves already. Lol
