As a member of the East African & Southern African region from which the language of Swahili was born and bred, it is lovely to hear this wonder of song in all its renditions. And MayTree absolutely smashed this out of the park, Well done 👏🏾🔥

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.📿♥️
@@TehButterflyEffect Christian nations have a horrific track record, ask any one forcibly displaced from Africa, or the Knights Templar, etc etc. How about we just enjoy the beauty of a song written by an asian with kiswahili lyrics? Deal?

I love how MayTree is balanced between the trends, classics, and rendition surprises. You can really see that they appreciate music as it is, no matter the culture, genre or media. 정말 감사합니다! Much love from Spain🇪🇸
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!
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.
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. :)
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!
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
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.
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 :)
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!
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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...
omg. this is my fav song since i wasa kid. I used this for most of my video projects back in the day. I used to open up Civ and wait at the title screen just for this song. thank you!
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!
