India Singalong

This is so beautiful. Today 160,000 people of Hyderabad joined together to sing Annamcharya's hymns to brake a 72-year-old records for the world's largest choir in the Guinness World Records. This event was to commemorate the 601st anniversary of the birth of Annamacharya, one of the earliest "saint composers" of southern India.

I wish I could find a longer video showing an actual song they sang.
