I love that you can easily pick out the percussionists singing voice in this song. You don’t often hear him sing, but he also has a beautiful voice. So much talent in this group!
As a person who speaks Swahili from East Africa Kenya and who has heard the song sang in a number of ways but the way you guys sang that song, plucked at my heart strings, if I ever founded a country that would be the national anthem.📿♥️

We used to sing baba yetu when I was still at school and when I saw the title, I instantly clicked it. It gave me goosebumps from the beginning till the end!
У меня просто нет сил теперь говорить, MayTree словно забрала наши голоса и с помощью связи с параллельной вселенной, спела настолько красиво, настолько восхитительно, что сам Гай Юлий Цезарь сидит и плачет в сторонке ! Молодцы 🥲👏👏👏
I am big CIV player and I can't believe that Maytree covered this theme. Now I can totally imagine if Maytree will also try the main theme of CIV 5: Brave New World
Maytree you have again created an phenomenal and majestic rendition. I gained goosebumps listening to your voices. THe bird call, the beatbox, the bass, the tenor, and oh-my-goodness the silk in the female voices. Amazing!
Recently heard about the praise Christopher Tin gave for this performance - definitely one of the best renditions I've heard, having been in love with this song since 2005. And really nice touch holding up the Civ4 intro video, was not expecting that! Great to experience it the same way as when I was first floored by it all those years ago - I remember re-booting the game over and over just to hear it again.
17 years ago I was a freshman in High School with a growing passion for music and composition. This song moved and inspired me so much when I first heard it in the Civ IV trailer. This was probably the first ever orchestral piece I ever transcribed, and I appreciate each of the voices, ornaments, and instruments in every facet of the orchestration. Hearing this brought me back to those times, and I can notice all of the little instrumentation details that I first discovered and loved all those years ago, and you all brought each of them to life in such a beautiful way. Truly an experience to hear this again, thank you very much :)
Oh god, I was not expecting to be thrown to the waves of nostalgia so hard! Billions of thanks to you from Russia! This masterpiece is truly international and uniting! Amazing performance, guys! Keep up, I'm in love!
This is magnificent. I keep replaying it because of the richness of the rendition. As far I can see not one of them pause. All the five voices are used all the time. Impressive.
You guys just warmed my heart and blow my mind as I head home from church. ❤️❤️❤️ Your tone, individually and together. The crisp harmonies and part switching. The articulation. Everything was spot on! I would say Maytree has a gift for singing “world music”, or music from other cultures, with the way they performed this.
we used to sing this song at church, with my choir when i was in senior high school.. i don't even know that this song is one of a theme song of a game (?) but, i'm so in love with this song. Thank you.
I broken into tears .. oh my goood how beautiful this cover.. Groundbreaking and wonderful. Awesome. The voices.. just like supernatural. I follow MayTree but this one hit like a comet. God (any you beleive in) bless you!
In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and you did an amazing job with your acapella cover. I'm sitting here bawling my eyes out, like every time I hear this song. :)
A full version of this song would be desirable. I know the original and I have to say that you can do more than compete with the original. Very good performance
Because of this song I played Civ 4 and probably so many other games after. This song is so much more than a "normal" computer game intro. I listened to a thousand versions, I feel like. This is definitely one of the best! What do you think about doing it once more in collaboration with a Swahili native singer or group?
This is one of my favorite game music ever and you guys made it better! The bass and percussive vocals sounds so good. The singing is absolutely amazing. Really, great work. It’s very beautiful.
Omg you guys, you had let me WITHOUT WORDS THIS TIME. I think I've never felt an emotion like this watching a video from you. It's just, AHHH, YOU DID IT AMAZIIING I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 🥺🥺❤❤
This gave me serious chills and brought back some fond memories. You people are beyond talented. Not just your vocal range but the way you understand sound is truly amazing. Thank you for the experience!
Quite possibly the best rendition of Baba Yetu ever! And, such a delight to discover Maytree! You guys are an absolute gem! Thank you and love you all!!
I love this song and have listened to many performances and in my opinion this is the best version. Even better and has more musical feeling in it than the full orchestra version. How do they do that. Talented and gifted bunch.
Been following MayTree for a while now and man this is really really good. I mean really good, I might even go as far as to say that this is maybe one of the (if not) the best performances from them I have seen so far! I was a big fan of Pentatonix when I discovered them a few years back, but honestly I think you guys are much much better (or better said more genuine imho), I hope someday you guys will release an album of great covers like these but the full songs! I'd buy it instantly!
Amazing, oh my goodness!!! I love Baba Yetu and I love a cappella, what an incredible combination. I thank Christopher Tin, twice, once for this incredible composition and again for letting us know about this group, I am in the US, so I was not familiar with them, just fantastic ❤️
If this is not a masterpiece I don't know what to call this. Did comparisons and came to the conclusion that THIS version captured something EXTRA magical...
Oh my goodness! Thank you for this cover! I've been impressed by your videos for awhile now, so I'm so flattered that you did this!
Don't scroll past this comment, Maytree. This is the original composer, who won a Grammy for this song. (Also, shout out to Stanford Talisman!)
Glad to see you, Mr. Baba Yetu! 😂 Love your works so much!
