@Kaldhore:

I want to explain something, because I don't like the way you comment that.

I'm the girl who conductet that.

The people who sing did never sing before, this was the first, very little "concert" we made at the service in a small church after three month rehearsing.

I did never conduct before. Apart from that we had much trouble with several things. For this circumstances I think we've had a respectable result. I'm a professional, I know how it could sound. But this is not the...

ITS PERFECT

Ok I sent you a comment you didnt reply, This group who sings this obviously havent got the vibe the original song had but its still good the song is being expressed. But I would say that american college singers seem to say not to sway - but the rest of the world says sway. how do you answer that?

@drummaster273 it doesn't have to do with race it just sounds better because their accents are molded through their language, but im definately not rascist I have a black step-dad and you should cheak out my Baba Yetu video, it has English and Swahili lyrics

@Cotif11

When did race have to do with music? What about those who speak Swahili that aren't so fluent in English and still sing English songs.

Praise has nothing to do with language. It comes from the heart and strips down barriers.

I loved it. Hope all those kids carry on singing and becoming better and better.

@trompetista272

If choral projects are so cool, how come I can't jack off to them?

[trompetista272]

Stop insulting choral projects, There is nothing "faggotry" about choir - Just about your attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@McCRAAAZY It wasn't a race thing, I was just saying it was intended to be sung by Africans who have the Swahili voice
