Baba Yetu - Angel City Chorale, June 2019 

We will be performing this song again this year at our 30th Anniversary Concert June 10th and 11th. More information available at angelcitychorale.org/30Rocks/! Relive the magic in person or via livestream!

Watching this now, less than a year after we performed it, brought tears to my eyes. Seeing us singing together, holding hands, remembering the joy, makes me miss it all the more. But we will rise again! I love this song. I love my choir.

As a Swahili speaker am so proud and all pronunciations are on point... welcome to Tanzania 🇹🇿

This is how humanity is supposed to act on a global scale. Working together hand in hand, being fabulous, celebrating each others art, beauty and cultures.

As a swahili speaker, pronunciation is on point...the soloist did an amazing job...love the extra sound effects. Great performance and production. Just 👌🏾

Composed by an American of Asian descent, sang in an African language of a prayer from Palestine, with European musical instruments.

I love this.. the man singing the solo is phenomenal

The voice of Jimmer Bolden is incredible, could listen to him for hours.

I don't know what's happening with the world today, so I came here to remind myself God still exists

Even when I don't share the religious belief I love this song as a Testament of human creativity, culture and art

I've always loved Baba Yetu because while the Lord's Prayer in English is usually sung slowly, with grace, the Swahili version really brings out the joy of the lord

Christopher Tin is a genius and this soloist is one of the best I have ever heard

you know music is really good when it’s a joyful, triumphant song and it still brings you nearly to tears

This is not a song Just a treasure that has increased the level of Humankind

Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Utupe leo chakula chetu Tunachohitaji utusamehe Makosa yetu, hey Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe Waliotukosea, usitutie Katika majaribu, lakini Utuokoe, na yule, milele na milele Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Ufalme wako ufike utakalo Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni, amina Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Baba yetu, yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Utupe leo chakula chetu Tunachohitaji utusamehe Makosa yetu, hey Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe Waliotukosea, usitutie Katika majaribu, lakini Utuokoe na yule msiba milele Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe Baba yetu, yetu, uliye Jina lako litukuzwe

Jimmer Bolden‘s voice is pure gold ❤️🏆❤️

Kiswahili is connecting the world. Very simple, soft and sweet language. Welcome to Tanzania 🇹🇿 where Kiswahili was born

I'm a Tanzanian and the language they sing is my first language( Swahili) ... they sung well with nice pronunciations. God bless them all Edit : thank you for the 350 likes I didn't know my comment will be liked like this.

As a Tanzanian ( the swahili nation ) i don't know how i missed this.. they sang very well, praising our Father who is in heaven.. Karibuni sana Tanzania.

Fui diagnosticado com depressão, e a muito tempo não consigo pegar no sono , pois minha mente é um turbilhão de pensamento, mais desde que achei esse vídeo foi como um santo remedio , onde acalma minha alma e meu corpo , consigo dormir e relaxar ouvindo essas vozes maravilhosa, obrigado

Who is watching this in June😢

love how everyone on stage was so into it. Cultural victory!

They are singing the Lord’s Prayer for those who don’t understand Swahili. 😎

This feels like heaven.. Please pray for me to have breakthrough in life, amen🙏

The choreography is amazing too…

Am Kenyan🇰🇪 and am so proud Swahili is my national language

This is the Lord's Prayer in Swahili. Beautiful. ❤🙏🙏🙏

I don't know why i was crying when watching but i feel like my faith was revived.... Just imagining this in heaven lord father grant us all the best way ever

Old white woman here in Alaska. I’m crying over how beautiful and powerful this is. The world needs more of these moments.

This makes me think of the prophesy in the Bible where every tongue shall declare that he is God and every knee will bow. Many races came together to make this happen.

That solo at 1:46 is epic. It moved me to tears.

This is what Heaven will sound like, just a billion times louder and more powerful. Thank you for your great voices.

It's a version of the Lord's prayer. Nicely done. Native Swahili speakers can't do any better, thats how good this is. I should know, I am Kenyan.

when the world comes together, it is mighty and magical thing...music is a language we can all speak.

This is in my language when I'm in a bad mood I listen to it and it just helps a lot I love this song

Amazing how I was moved to tears without understanding the language. Music is truly the language of the heart. I looked up the translation and am even more moved by it.

Being part of a choir is awesome. My favorite music is to sing praises to Yehovah.

This just takes me back to God and my roots.. 🤲🏾🙏🏾🤲🏾

This choir is simply SENSATIONAL!!! I have rarely heard such a wonderful and good choir! The conductor is also great, she radiates something maternal!I'm always in tears. All around wonderful and sensational voices!!! Keep it up !👍👍🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌺🌺🌺🌺❤❤☺☺👍👍

A palavra de Deus não muda e a música a transforma na linguagem universal! Pai Nosso! Baba Yetu! Não canso de ouvir! Parabéns à todos os componentes, músicos, maestra! Ao solista um parabéns especial, pois expressou divinamente a palavra cantada!!

This soloist is one of a kind... beautiful performance...😍

Exodus 15:26 "I am the Lord that healeth thee." Please pray that He will heal my wife, in Jesus' Name. Thanks and God bless you.

Baba yetu uliyebMbinguni Amina Jina lako litukuzwe Our father who art in Heaven Hallowed be thy name . Beautiful!!

Beautiful singing, Swahili as my first language I would say the pronunciation was on point,welcome to East Africa wher Swahili is widely spoken

Our true spirituality is not in the gods we worship or pray to, it is within us and you would have to be dead not to feel the power of so many voices rejoicing together, in a language that most do not speak to produce this wonderfully harmonious performance. Harmonious, not only musically but racially, but after all, there is only one race, Human.

Who is loving the African accent 😍😍😍😍

In are current climate where the world needs to work together to overcome something we've never faced before, this song resonates this message

I know that song since of the release of Civilization IV and allways loved it. This performance ... holy ... goosebumbs everywhere and tears pooring out of my eyes. Thank you Angel City Chorale. This was astonishing!

Every single time i hear this i cry uncontrollably. It is so magical. Heavenly. --my soul feels it ❤

Swahili language sound very romantic....welcome to Tanzania the land of beautifull people, romantic, and hospitality....karibuni sana (welcome very much)

the first Language of Tanzania, Swahili.. Very touching hear Swahili singing

Hello! I'm a Brazilian conductor and I saw this video for the first time today. I am extremely thrilled! I wish they continue to enchant the planet with such a beautiful work! Thank you very much!

It's in Kiswahili (Swahili) language predominately spoken in east Africa. The song is a gospel in praise of God. Baba yetu means our father.

One day soon, all of you can gather together again to do this spectacular thing that you do.

Amina. Mubarikiwe !

I don’t know how many times I listened to this performance ❤

The amount of love this group put into their performance is just wonderful! Thank you!

This is how the Lord’s Prayer should be done, in my option, this is pure praise to the higher beings who protect us

I'm on Baba Yetu binge right now and this is 1 of the best 2 choir group performance and singing I've seen. Everyone took part, performed and sang together. Not many lacking of facial expression spotted when singing (which is great) and can hear the singing has feelings poured into it. When you sing to God, you have to sing with feelings and dance (if you want to) to show Him that you are doing it for Him. Singing to God is like you have to "send" your voice to Him and let Him "receive" what you expressed.

Я восхищаюсь вами - вы такие разные, вдохновлённые и живые! Спасибо за радость от музыки!

What a beautiful language Swahili is. This group did such an amazing performance. 🧡🧡

Coral maravilhoso Muito harmônico com Muita emoção e alegria

The leads singer’s voice is phenomenal 😮

Some day I'll be able to watch this without crying. Not today though. Not today. :-)

A song designed for a video game, gave passion to people, filled hearts with peace and reminds us that though we are imperfect in so many ways, God loves us just the way we are. I love this song and yaw did a great performance, bet it took alot of hard practice, but yaw did an outstanding job!!! Always PUT GOD FIRST and youl triumph through every battle you go through.

Every time I hear this choir sing this I get chills, they transport you to somewhere heavenly ❤️

Peace on Earth 🌍💚🩵

Thank you all, what an amazing grace.

Best version I have ever heard. Going to listen to again and again

I've heard many covers of this song. I wouldn't want to start making a list of renditions, pitting one against the other, for a song that's ostensibly about peace. But this one sure is up there. A+

can't stop listen to this... Much love from BURKINA FASO❤

1:45 Nunca había escuchado una voz, con la potencia que tiene este caballero! ES ESPECTACULAR E IMPRESIONANTE! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Já estou até aprendendo a música de tanto que já escutei rsrs.... É muito lindo!!! Maravilhoso!!!

Goosebumps here! I am a christian and I looove african music. Then the movements you make are fantastic!!

Это ОЧЕНЬ круто! Если бы можно было выбирать гимн нашей планеты - я бы выбрал эту композицию! Браво 👏

You know what I love the most about art? It's the fact that I don't even know what they are saying while sing, but the harmony between the singers with all this multicultural context makes this presentation so beautiful that moved my eyes to tears ❤❤❤

Will FOREVER be my absolute favourite choir performance of this song. Just wish we had a full choir shot of the side-to-side swaying at 1:52

I needed that. Thank you all! Stay safe!

I've watched this hundreds of times... I've watched every version of this song because it's amazing, and they're all really good, but this one speaks directly to your soul. The lead singer is phenomenal and all the people together make this so perfect.. I just can't get used to it, every time feels like the 1st time I'm hearing it. Thank you people you are amazing.

i wish the world felt like this every day i wake up

This is swahili language mainly found in Tanzania and this is our father ( a prayer)

É tão bom as pessoas unidas em um só propósito, louvar o Senhor.

My favorite version especially for the solo climax, my god, so good ! 👍

The Voices of Holy Spirit, Bowling Green, KY are performing a joint concert with our Burmese and Congolese singers this morning. At rehearsal last night I showed them this video (Congolese singers only speak Swahili) and they were amazed. I don't know if they had ever heard an Anglo choir sing Swahili before. It should be a wonderful Mass, the Burmese/Congolese choir members are so enthused about singing three Anglo songs: Our God is Here - Muglia; Here I am Lord- Schutte and I Send you Out-Angotti.

Maravilhosa canção! Emoção total! Fui as lágrimas!! Arrepiei!!! Deus abençoe a todas as vozes!! Músicos e maestra!!

I love your performance. The soloist is amazing.. I could listen to this all the time. Greetings from Poland ❤️

It gives me the catholic feels back wen I was young

Sometimes when I'm afraid or everthing is wrong, I come to this song.

What a stunning interpretation of Baba Yetu. There is a nice story beeing told via this performance.

Ao fecharmos os olhos, ouvir sentindo a música, impossível não visualizar a natureza exuberante desta terra continental tão abençoada. Girafas, elefantes, o homem... Seres criados por Deus e que o louvam... BABA YETU!

Indeed. The Lord's Prayer!!

As a Tswana speaker, the first thought that came to mind when I saw "Baba Yetu" is "Our Father (who art in heaven)

Maravilhoso louvor não entendi uma palavra sequer mas senti a presença do senhor Jesus baba yetu👏👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Magnífico é de arrepiar! Imagina no céu q perfeição😍😍❤️❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 toda honra glória e louvor ao nosso Deus altíssimo!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Ain't much on RU-vid which makes me cry tears of joy

Brought me to tears

Magnífico! 🙌🏽👏🙏❤🤩💕

First time I've seen choreography added to this moving music. Still brings chills and tears to this rendition.

I have no idea what they are singing but am moved anyway. Beautiful.

The world needs God with this Corona virus... The Lord's prayer in Swahili perfectly executed by Angel City Chorale✨🙏
