Watoto Choir Teams Up With Martin Smith For Joy-Filled New Release “JOY – Watoto Choir Mix.” The sound of celebration is getting a fresh new expression as Watoto Choir Mix teams up with acclaimed worship leader and songwriter Martin Smith for “JOY – Watoto Choir Mix,” now available on major streaming platforms.

The collaboration arrives with an infectious message of hope and encouragement, pairing the vibrant energy of the Watoto Children’s Choir with Smith’s distinctive anthemic worship style.
“It’s finally here!” the Watoto Choir Mix team announced. “We’re so excited to share that ‘JOY – Watoto Choir Mix’ with @martinsmithtv is out today on all streaming platforms! Working on this track together has been such a blessing, and we hope it brings a bit of encouragement to your week.”
Known for its energetic performances and African-infused worship sound, the Watoto Children’s Choir brings a youthful and uplifting character to the release. The choir is part of Watoto Church’s wider ministry in Uganda, which works to care for orphaned and vulnerable children while raising them within a community of faith.
Smith brings years of worship experience to the collaboration. The former frontman of Delirious? has maintained a longstanding connection with Watoto and has supported the ministry in various ways, including helping establish the Watoto Worship Academy.
Joy has also remained a recurring theme throughout Smith’s music. His 2024 album, Joy, explored the possibility of finding courage, hope and celebration even when life feels uncertain. “JOY – Watoto Choir Mix” carries that same spirit into a collaboration that introduces the message to a new musical setting.
The track brings together the choir’s vibrant African musical influences and Smith’s congregational worship approach, creating a sound that feels both celebratory and deeply rooted in faith.
For the team behind the release, however, the song represents more than a new addition to streaming playlists. They hope that its infectious energy and message will encourage listeners navigating difficult seasons and remind them that joy can still be found in the middle of uncertainty.
With its combination of youthful voices, uplifting worship and an unmistakable sense of celebration, “JOY – Watoto Choir Mix” invites listeners to turn up the volume and embrace its simple message of hope.
The song is now streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and other major platforms, giving listeners around the world an opportunity to join in the celebration.
