My son has spent many hours playing games like Syd Meyers Civilization...

He loved the opening music for Civilization 4.

It was 'catchy' sung in an African language - he learned it by heart and sang it often.

Now years later he discovered that this catchy intro was actually the Lords Prayer sung in Swahili

Here is a link to the track sung beautifully by a Swahili choir.


Enjoy.

I like it very much. Love the voices and the arrangements. It's a very beautiful piece of music for a video game!

Small correction, it is sung by the Soweto Gospel Choir from South Africa.

Always liked that intro.

In the fallout 3 downloadable content Point Lookout there's a gospel presentation.
