On the final night of that same season on the show, Zurcaroh performed a routine to [[Baba Yetu]]. The performance was set in a jungle and featured their usual acrobatic maneuvers.

Zurcaroh is an acrobatic show group based in Götzis, Austria, and directed by Brazilian choreographer Peterson da Cruz Hora.[1] The group became internationally known after they won a golden buzzer on the 2017 season of France's Got Talent, and again on season 13 of America's Got Talent,[2] where they finished second overall.
Peterson da Cruz Hora, a choreographer from São Paulo, originally founded the group in 2007 in Brazil. In 2009, after moving to Austria, he decided to refound the group there with a local crew. Their first international appearance as an Austrian group occurred in 2011, in Lausanne, Switzerland.[3]
Some of the moves and routines are unique or rarely seen in dance routines. These include multiple flips at once and circus style trapeze acts. One move has two dancers doing cartwheel-style somersaults off the ground, landing each revolution on fellow performers' arms. Another has a dancer acting as a jump rope.[4] Peterson explained why it was important for the troupe to audition for AGT, "Because this is the biggest stage in the world where we can share our skills and our talent." He went on to say how the group accepts dancers, gymnasts, and acrobats at all levels.[5] There are currently 48 members in the troupe.[3] They are based in Götzis, a town in the highly populated Rhine valley in the west of Austria.[6]
Zurcaroh represented Austria at World GymnaestradainHelsinki in July 2015; the event is held every four years.[7]
Zurcaroh earned a golden buzzer from David Ginola on season 12 of La France a un incroyable talent (France has incredible talent), warranting their participation in the finals.[8]
The group earned a golden buzzer from Tyra Banks on the first show of season 13 of America's Got Talent advancing to the live shows.
On the final night of that same season on the show, Zurcaroh performed a routine to Baba Yetu. The performance was set in a jungle and featured their usual acrobatic maneuvers. It received the loudest applause of the night. The first judge to comment after the performance, Howie Mandel, had his voice almost completely drowned out by applause from the audience.[9]
In the end, Zurcaroh finished as runner up.
