lolol a community college with a choir? I've seen everything now.

Nicely done though

[satBASS]

@ERommel8 I think thats actually pretty common...at least in a lot of Florida CC's i know of

[TheRaice]

I'm not. It's one of my favorite songs and i've wanted to do it in a choir for a long time. I saw another choir do it back in high school and fell in love with it.

[satBASS]

oh ok.

Yeah its a really fun song

[TheRaice]

It is called Baba Yetu, of course. It's a swahili rendition of the Lord's Prayer.

hahahaha!! i can't believe i'm seeing this! this was my freshman year of choir. i miss this song it was one of my favorites :)

[plzforgiveme987]

claps! nicely done.

For those that are curious, the song is from a video game, Civilization IV. It's by Christopher Tin, and it's won a Grammy for 'Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist[s]'. It was originally performed with the Soweto Gospel Choir.

This version is quite good, yet it would never compare to the original.
