About This Track

The haunting and highly-acclaimed opening theme to the 2004 computer game Civilization IV, the lyrics to Baba Yetu are in fact a modified version of the Lord’s Prayer (“Our Father, who art in Heaven…”) sung in Swahili. This was likely a nod to the series-first introduction of Religion as a playable element in the game.

    Visit Christopher's website: http://www.christophertin.com/callingalldawns.html for information and previews on his "Calling All Dawns" album. If you join his mailing list you'll also get a free mp3: mine was the Civilization IV version of "Baba Yetu". If you love "Baba Yetu" and don't own Chris Tin's album, there may be something wrong with you! Check out his other songs -- especially "Mado Kara Mieru" and "Kia Hora Te Marino"! I promise you, you will *not* be disappointed.

    A very inspirational, somewhat mystical soundtrack indeed. Best lyrics too. :P

    This is in my option one of the very best tracks written for a computer game. Right on top with maybe two hand full of other tracks.
