Video: Amsterdam residents sing together through their windows

Amsterdam residents on Egelantiersgracht in Jordaan decided to break the monotony of social isolation with a singalong. A video shows them singing together through their windows.

The song they're singing is called Aan de Amsterdamse grachten, which translates to 'On the Amsterdam Canals'.
