Thanks for the song links! Especially Belafonte, Imagine Dragons, and Peter, Paul, and Mary.
The Transylvanian Choir concert is cool! I listened to the first couple of songs, and it sounds like they're singing in Hungarian! I went back and listened to the intro, and yes, the choir leader says they're Hungarian. He said their school was founded in 1557, wow, but then he says, "America was empty that period," which is a very different unhappy sort of wow, erasing indigenous peoples. Did anyone in the church follow up with him on that afterward? Seems like a good teachable moment.
