“It was a spontaneous performance for the crew,” an Emirates’ representative was quoted to have said.
According to the playful video clip posted on Emirates Airlines’ social media pages and Youtube account, the Texas-based choir was in Kenya for a mission trip.
The song that made Emirates’ passengers go nuts was popularized by the Filipino pop group “Smokey Mountain’ in the early ’90s. The song’s choral arrangement has been sung both by local and international choirs.
The airline’s video post has over 4.2 million views, and still counting.
