The South Korean choir, consisting of four men and three women from the Gracias Choir of the Good News Mission Church, performed the Swahili song with impressive skill, seamlessly transitioning through its stanzas.

The performance, which took place in a lobby where Ruto and his wife sat surrounded by their aides, was a touching moment that brought a sense of home to the Kenyan delegation. The choir's rendition of the popular Tanzanian tune visibly moved both the President and the First Lady, who watched in awe and subtly moved their heads to the rhythm.

President Ruto's visit to South Korea was marked by the Asian country's efforts to honor his deep Christian faith. This gesture of cultural and spiritual connection was especially poignant, considering the Zabron Singers' prior engagement at Ruto's inauguration in 2022. The choir's choice of song, "Mkono Wa Bwana," is a favorite of the President and his spouse, adding a personal touch to the welcoming ceremony.
