The first video game song to win an Emmy was the Lord’s Prayer sung in Swahili.

The song has made such an impact that it has been sung in various chorus all across the world.

I just find it amazing that out of all the video game songs out there, this is one that made such impact.  As far as I know, the composer has not made a declaration of faith, and was suggested the lyrics by someone he knew and worked with a native(?) speaker to work it in song form.  He’s composed other songs, but this is the most well known of his works, and likely will remain that way.

Does the song even do the Prayer justice?  Absolutely.  I would absolutely encourage someone to listen to it.  It is so beautiful.

I'm convinced that all choir people have sung Baba Yetu
