Just came back from a two year mission trip to West Africa. This video reminds me of how loving and happy the people are.. They may be poor in material goods, but they are rich in the spirit.
all i understood was good life....BUT THE BABIES!!!! oh my people are beautiful!!!!..all those beautiful kids and beautiful smiles!!! GOOD JOB!!! LOVE IT
The beauty of happiness and the rhythm of the beat can create love through all worlds. I wish that this many smiles could be brought upon many every day, the feelings of freedom, and the need to get up and dance. :)
Thank you for these videos. I've been feeling so disheartened by the world and all the hatred, ugliness, and inhumanity. This helps to remember that there is beauty amongst the destruction. We need the uplifting spirit. Asante Sana
A few months ago I made one of my best trip ever. I went to Ethiopia, to present my job about Health Care. But, although all the academic learning, my best gift was for life. This video remembers me my second day, when my friends and I were supposed to make a safari. Unfortunately we couldn’t see any wildlife, so we got disappointed about that. But, we met people like the ones who show up in this video. I lived a episode like that. (+)
Some people were born with special talents but it is only hard work what makes them shine... I think you forgot the big part that people play in developing themselves..I respect religion but ugh...
Smiles, Goodness, People of the world...Good, Good Life! Makes me crave the simple life. All need to share so all are fed, clothed, can read and SING! Pure goodness!!! A tear, a smile, a warmer heart. Thank you Alex Boye... moving!!!!
Ok, why on Earth would you dislike this? It's a motivational video that shows that you can find happiness in the smallest of things. So tell me, why would you even think of pushing the dislike button?
Alex ..this video made me remember all the things i miss back at home in nigeria.....!!! no matter the sad things that may be happening there.....i can never deny my motherland.....can't wait to go back and live the good life!!!
My brother is on a mission in Ghana and he absolutely loves it there! He loves how everyone is just full of love and life! I'm so glad you did this to show others of the joy that people all over Ghana and other parts of Africa have to give
I'd catch a grenade, that song by bruno mars...Alex Boye blows the origional so far out of the water I dont even know what galaxy its in. It's turns a cheesy crappy song into a powerfully emotional song that raises the hair on your arms and brings a tear. He's amazing.
I discovered Alex Boye less than a week ago and I think I have seen every video and read every article there is about him. #Im in love!!! with his music, his energy, his smile. In short im in love!!!
he speak few swahili. by his deep tone i can say he is not from East Africa. He is From west. Good thing Africa its united West to east. Great Effort man. #Madaraka_kwa_watu
Alex was born in London England.. LOL but his mom was from Nigeria and is of the Yoruba tribe. You can watch his "I'm a Mormon" video where he tells his story about his mom and how she left him in England and went back to Nigeria.. Alex was also a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir before having his solo career.. :)
This video will make me remember that day forever. Thank You! Just one word can describe what I feel now: saudade (in Portuguese it means miss something) Tears are running down from my face now. I hope come back one day!
Mr Boye, I do believe that your voice is one of the greatest things I have ever discovered over youtube. No matter what opinion I hold on the original songs, your versions always seem better.
Somehow as a culture we have lost the meaning of what a good life is.My wish for everyone everywhere that they rediscover the meaning of a good good life.CLue//it has nothing to do with the amount of money or possessions you own..when was the last time you danced just to dance because you feel happy,or cried because something was truly beautiful,we start with it when born,watch a babys expressions,they are filled with amazement at life..but we lost it as we get older..may this music show you back,the path to a good life,raise those hands..move those hips.close your eyes,yes now...let the music take you up...up... up to a good life...blessings,Lisa
How can you not smile while watching this? I went on a missions trip to Haiti last year and this reminds me so much of how incredible those people were, they smiled through the pain.
Mr. Boye have no words i just got in love with ur music and of course ur handsome ......my boyfrieng his from Africa love him with all my heart keep on Mr. Boye....
Hi,Alex My daughter saw the video with the piano guys PARADISE....and she close her eyes and listen that video then she start crying and she said...MOM I CAN HEARD THAT SONG WITH MY HEART ;( she make me cry you make us cry, talented man...god bless you.if you touch a 6 years old heart you can touch the heart of anyone.
Great message. I have heard that a lot of good is going on in Africa, with people volunteering to help and the gospel being taught over there. I would love to some day help out, too.
when i saw "maisha mazuri" am like.....yeaaaaaaaaahhhh...for swahili speakers you know what i mean...kkkk...damn this guy is so talented!!! go Boye go!!! MAISHAMAZURITUNAKUPENDA......"lazima yawe maisha mazuri!!!!!!!!!!!!...
THIS is what people should when they do something for charity. 20% given means you still pocket a fair bit off the money. Alex Boye literally goes the whole 100%, I think this really proves what he's in the music industry for
My biggest dream go to Africa and help the kids in need... such a beautiful people. Alex you are simply the best ;) one of my favorite videos God Bless you ;)
OneRepublic is going to be jealous of this remix and video. I stumbled upon this through the piano guys and couldn't be more grateful. This is very very uplifting! Alex says it best "I believe music heals the soul".
Omg!! This make me to realized how far I have came ...I missed my home town and can't wait to visit my country soon !! Great!! Great!! Video Alex .. Your such an inspiration to others man.. 👌🏾👌🏾😘😘💋💋😍😍🙌🙌
Just came back from a two year mission trip to West Africa. This video reminds me of how loving and happy the people are.. They may be poor in material goods, but they are rich in the spirit.
I leave for liberia tomorrow
music that connects two different cultures? thats true music for sure. i love it.
Ghana! How I miss you. Ghanaians are the most wonderful and friendly people I've ever met. Can't wait to go back.
all i understood was good life....BUT THE BABIES!!!! oh my people are beautiful!!!!..all those beautiful kids and beautiful smiles!!! GOOD JOB!!! LOVE IT
The children are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Love their smiles!!!
This is the kind of music everyone should be listening to!!!!!
I totally agree!
Why does everything redone with an African twist ALWAYS make it superior to the original in every way???? The African continent is so spectacular.
The depth of the drums makes it magical.
The beauty of happiness and the rhythm of the beat can create love through all worlds. I wish that this many smiles could be brought upon many every day, the feelings of freedom, and the need to get up and dance. :)
I e8
Thank you for these videos. I've been feeling so disheartened by the world and all the hatred, ugliness, and inhumanity. This helps to remember that there is beauty amongst the destruction. We need the uplifting spirit. Asante Sana
These kind of music with African twists ALWAYS lift my spirit. Sing more like these!! Love it

Mimi ninapenda sana,ni kweli Maisha mazuri....Watoto pia wazuri..👍👊🙂😍😊 Asante..💞
This is so beautiful, God has given man such marvelous talents.
Some people were born with special talents but it is only hard work what makes them shine... I think you forgot the big part that people play in developing themselves..I respect religion but ugh...
Haya ni laizma yawe maisha mazuri means "this must become a good life, there is just no other way"
I couldnt agree more......
lazima yawe maisha mazuri no matter what other people think of Africa....
Smiles, Goodness, People of the world...Good, Good Life! Makes me crave the simple life. All need to share so all are fed, clothed, can read and SING! Pure goodness!!! A tear, a smile, a warmer heart. Thank you Alex Boye... moving!!!!

Ghanaaaa, my country, I miss you sooo much!!! I love this!!
Now this is what Africa is really all about - A rhythm and a sense of happiness that we all need to learn from
Alex ..this video made me remember all the things i miss back at home in nigeria.....!!!

The same with me. We saw Alex in peponi first and we've definitely fallen in love with his music. :)

Love African Music and African People!
This video will make me remember that day forever. Thank You!
Just one word can describe what I feel now: saudade (in Portuguese it means miss something)
Tears are running down from my face now. I hope come back one day!
Can't wait for the AFRICANIZED album to come out!

Mr Boye, I do believe that your voice is one of the greatest things I have ever discovered over youtube. No matter what opinion I hold on the original songs, your versions always seem better.
I really like Peponi with The Piano Guys as well. The music is awesome but the video is fantastic!
Why is this not trending?! This needs to happen! He's too talented to not be trending!

It's 2014 and I barely came across this. Amazing work!

Yes he is a met drummers from africa they invited me to vist n we doing music together
this is absolutely incredible
I love the fact the kids are smiling :) They looked like they were having so much fun!!!
It seems to me that people who come from the poorest backgrounds have the richest personalities.
Very true.
That's because the grass always looks greener on the other side. We all have the potential to live the good life.
Money doesn't buy happiness :)
This song really matches with African style! This is amazing!
some people have alot and are always sad and unsatisfied.. over there they got nothing and seem to be so happy!
God Bless Africa!
I love the happiness and joy brought into this song!
Very beautiful people, rich culture, miss Ghana
