“The Lion Sleeps Tonight” is a song many connect with Disney’s “The Lion King,” but its roots reach deeper. Originally a 1960s pop hit by the Tokens, it traces back to a 1930s song called “Mbube” by Solomon Linda. Although legal issues emerged as a result of the film’s distribution, the song remains popular and has been performed by many musicians. The Lithuanian a cappella group Quorum, famed for their impeccable vocals, has created an excellent version.

Quorum, Lithuania’s only professional male a cappella group since 2005, is made up of gifted individuals. Whether you first heard the song in the ’60s, the ’90s, or the 2019 version, Quorum’s interpretation is sure to warm your heart.
