Anybody here in 2024❤?
Of course
@@dtrgavin i do
Absolutely!
Yesss!!!
Always listen to this
I'm a swahili native from East Africa, it's soo cool to hear foreign people sing perfectly in your mother tongue like that.
They nailed it
@@inspiredwithjulie Oh yeah Julie, this is the best version so far. I know they made a lot of effort, Swahili is not an easy language.
we are not foreign, this is my home town cape town. `Equally your home in South Africa. we are all brothers and sisters.
These are South Afrikaans
I'll bet it is. I'm English and it moved me immensely.
Realised I made a comment four years ago. I'm still strong and going. Who is with me 2024 # we move
UA-cam can be a weird time capsule like that sometimes. Glad you're still going strong though!
@@Wargasmo It is so wonderful to see their faces when they sing.
As I said about their Die Donker video - singing is some kind of beauty product.
Today I cried when I heard them. With joy.
🤝🤝🤝
As a Kenyan watching this in 2024, it's absolutely mind blowing. Just amazing.
What are they singing about?
@@xappr1173 It's the lord's prayer in Swahili, with some other flavor that this choir added. They are incredible.
@@xappr1173 The Lord's prayer.
Who's been watching these performances over and over again? Just pure joy. Makes you glad to be a human being.
I listen Baba Yetu and Let my love be Heard every day to start the day since I "met" this Choir. You are my favorite by FAR!!
Me
Me. Thats the best performance I ever see
@@henmargames4940
...and now there is "Nkosi Sikelela iAfrika" !!! Those three are gold!
This choir is my absolute favorite too.
I was even crying the fist time, so overwhelming
Who thought this possible 35 years ago???
Black and white students singing together in swahili language to represent their country South Africa...
So glad that we are able to hear and see this!
This version is the one I prefer. Perfection.
And it's a pleasure to see each and every singer so invested in the song! 👍
I think it's more incredible now as 35 years ago seemed a more tolerant time! ;)
Besides that, this is a translation of christian verse into swahili, written and composed by an Asian American and performed by nearly every nationality on the planet! i'd say its more of an anthem for human kind!
@@mistakay9019 Yes this should be the anthem of humankind going forward into the future.
V Cie I’m sorry but Swahili isn’t South African it’s spoken in Kenya , Tanzania and Rwanda
Mmm, not entirely accurate info. Swahili is an East African language and the dress code of the two Africans (or African personas) towards the end is typical of the Maasai community in Kenya. Therefore I would say this was meant to bring out the East African culture (or approach to sacred music) rather than SA's.
Also remarkable: Christopher Tin, the composer of the song is of Asian origin.
May 2024, and we still here. listening the most amazing voices 😭❤
Even in 2024, this is the most beautiful rendition of that song that I have listened to.
I agree 💯!
This is a Kiswahili rendition of the Lord's Prayer...I am from Kenya and it has just given me goosebumps 🔥🔥🔥🔥It's perfect 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
O que diz a música?
Veja como música é linguagem universal! Não conheço a tradução mas me emocionei ouvindo!
Me dá arrepios, sempre!!
@@karinavilarino2842 , é a oração do Pai Nosso, que Jesus ensinou!
It's so beautiful.
What does the song say
The conductor is a whole mood
Them facials are a mood
met him backstage in 2018 hes a really nice guy and was really supportive of everyone
Nìguo...🔥🔥
He won the best conductor in that competition.
Anyone knows that conductor name?
He's amazing ... 👏👏👏
I'm a kenyan and truly this is the best version I've heard of baba yetu...
I'm in tears... Najivunia kuwa mkenya.. Najivunia lugha yetu ya Kuswahili
Ps, the choir master is hot 😉😋
Me toooo...urgh the tears when they came out in Kikois
Yep l second u till now everytime l listen to it it trigger African Dream of coming together removing Colonial Borders and Celebrating our Diversity
We learned now at my Choir now! Love this song
yes I agree! The chior master is a very nice piece of man, but also among singers here are beautiful yummy biscuits !!!
Hotty naughty lol 🥵😂
Swahili is a beautiful language God bless Africa Proudly Nigerian 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
The chemistry drives me nuts....I wish i was part of this choir. Like....everyone can feel this song in their bones.
^^
Ikrrrr
Mee too bro
I wish I was a part of this choir as well.
What is skin colour and language differences when you feel their joy in your bones? They all feel the same energy, Beautiful.
That conductor though. His sheer joy in conducting this choir. I love his passion!!
Me too!
Beautiful 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Right his happiness while conducting makes me smile
What in inspiration he is.
Yes! I was just coming here to say the same! His sheer joy and enthusiasm is wonderful.
Back in 2023! The best version of the Lord's prayer! Lots of love from Kenya!
To me, this really is the best version of this song. Everyone in the choir looks like they're having the time of their lives and this arrangement just knocks it out of the park. The layering is perfect, with each section doing something unique at all times but never such that it clashes with another section. The soprano countermelody at 0:56? Utterly inspired.The two soloists in the latter half? Energizing and dynamic. Honestly, I'm blown away
The sopranos in this rendition is the nearest thing I've heard from perfection.
I love how people who know the square root of ass about music and professional choir singers, conductors and performers all have such high praise for this piece, at their own level of musical understanding. I know the tune transcended the game long ago but it’s still kinda absurd to think there’s still this much hype around the title music for a game that came out, what, 18 years ago?
@christophertIn
@@TheFinalMeowntdownYou must be fun at parties!
The sopranos of this choir are truly killing it. Voice of angels!
They are amazing truly awesome
I love this song
Everyone coming together is what makes this sound so beautiful! (Not saying I disagree, Sopranos are usually highly praised in the choral world, I'm an Alto coming in hot for some love lol) well done, astounding sound
@@maggiemunn5425 as a fellow alto I agree with you whole heartedly, we provide the base, the nuance, the colours for sopranos to basically sing the tune.
No offense to the altos, tenors, baritones and the basses. All parts of this choir are truly amazing. It is just that as a former high school soprano, my ears automatically tuned into the soprano range. Peace.
This is the South Africa we should all strive for . No racial hate just wonderful voices in praise of our creator. God Bless Africa.
@Michael Roebuck I agree - It would be even more amazing when the 10% no longer owns 90% of the wealth of SA.
@@mummoniq7950 exactly
I cannot accept your claim re economics . Most people I know own no land or have overseas bank accounts . We also do not run down the Country like many who joined the ( PFP Party ) and left South Africa . We want to see a South Africa which offers a decent life for all the people who are proud of the Country the diverse cultures and peoples who are not liars and seekers of financial enrichment of themselves or their families . No doubt you will comment on my view and that is your right thanks to the consitution we enjoy here.
Amen
Actually the problem is not racial hatred, it is corruption perpetrated by those in power over their fellow Africans!
My beautiful language, seeing my fav prayer in my native language brings tears in my eyes . Much love from Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
This is amazing, As a Tanzanian, a swahili person I am impressed. Glory to God Our father in heaven.
I swear South Africa has one of the most beautiful people ever.
Thank you 🙏🏾
🙏🙋🌺
The songs I've heard coming from there are just amazing and truly give you a feeling like no other.
I have travelled to most parts of the world and I have never been to a town with so many attractive people as Stellenbosch. I visit at least once a year for work and can thoroughly recommend the place.
You are yet to visit kenya
Am Kenyan, we speak Swahili, this is the best composition of 'Baba Yetu' ever! Hats off!
This is the best so far.
They are singing in Swahili?
@@levyfeller9056 Yes, Swahili. Word for word.
😂Ata Kenya sijawahi sikia a version that is this lit.
@@Jimmilito1 hi! Could you tell us short about the meaning of the words being spoken by the two young men in traditional clothing? :-)
I can proudly say that I’m a graduate of this wonderful university. ❤
It it an university in Africa?
@@TheRigo385yes
I'm a music teacher at a school with mostly African and African American students. I'm also the choir director. Tomorrow they're learning about descants. They are SO watching this video! It gives me chills.
So what did they think?
@@JackgarPrime They liked it!
So what
So I've just pieced together that this is a South African choir performing a song in Swahili at a music festival in Wales. That's fantastic!
wow genius, who would've known
Composed by an Asian American for a video game called Civilization which is about, well, the whole world and all of it's people. Awesome!
Agradecido 👏🤗
You'll only see that diversity in SA..
America would also have Latinos, Asians, muts..
What other African country could that be??
@@rrpearsall did you just call mixed people mutts…?
“Baba Yetu” is essentially the Lord’s Prayer sung in Swahili. The title translated means “Our Father”.
The lyrics are as follows:
Baba yetu, yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, yetu amina!
Baba yetu yetu uliye
Jina lako e litukuzwe.
Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji, utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, muovu e milele!
Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni.
(Amina)
Our Father, who art
in Heaven. Amen!
Our Father,
Hallowed be thy name.
Give us this day our daily bread,
Forgive us of
our trespasses,
As we forgive others
Who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from the evil one forever.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
(Amen)
Thanks for mentioning this. Most people think of it as just another song. They don't realise what it means.
I appreciate you for sharing the meaning and the words to this song!
I defintely heard something about Chocolate 😄
AMEN
Thank you for the lyrics 🙏🏾Amazing performance!
The Lord's prayer sung in Kiswahili ( native to East Africa)
Sung by a South African choir
Brilliant ❤️👏🏾
And sung in Wales at the Llangollen International Music Eistedfodd (2018). It gives me hope for those who will come after me. There is much to be thankful for. Many of the world's artists show us that suffering, compassion, beauty and joy are often close travelling companions.
Stellenbosch University Choir remains one of then few to understand their role! I love them even today😍
Those women's voices, they are literally what I'd imagine what angels would sound like in heaven. Such flow. Beautiful!
their voice are instrumental.. this is just beyond amazing
You are right, I was watching those girls with their voices and could imagine heavenly song, I have had angel singing before and this girl's nailed it
Honestlyyy
thank you
Pretty sure they sing this song in heaven :)
This song is giving me goosebumps. As a native Kiswahili speaker from Kenya, I couldn't be more proud of our language and culture.
Is Kiswahili the same as Swahili or is there an important distinction between the two?
The language is beautiful.
@@bellasaward8330 just like Francais and French.. 😜
I can sing it!! Beautiful language!
@@bellasaward8330 Kiswahili is the language and Swahili refers to the people and culture. Swahili people are an ethnic group found in some of the coastal areas of East Africa like Kenya and Tanzania.
@@sheilabett4980 Ahhh! :) Learn something every day! Thanks. 😊
I love the young men who come out at the end; they're like apostles preaching the Word. This is wonderful.
Kiswahili is my nation🇰🇪🇰🇪 national language but you guys made me feel like im hearing kiswahili for the first time south Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦 kiswahili to be accommodated in your syllabus
I am Japanese who live in Brazil. I have started crying since the beggining of the music. I do not understand what it says but I understand the beauty of the music. I love this music.
It is kiswahili.the lords prayer in kenya
@@violakulei5563 I knew that they are singing about something sacred, geuine and beautiful and some truth of the world and humanity!!!!!! Thank you for explanation.
@Salm1848 also if you dont ;)
This song always brings me to tears. This was arranged by an Asian man, using the Lord's Prayer, In Swahili, for an American game company. This is humanity at its finest.

Thank you it's beautiful
Thanks
Thank you very much for this translation! I'm Spanish and didn't understand the lyrics. 💖👏
I'm Dutch, and I'm also very glad with the translation, although we sing " Our Father" with our Dutch gospelgroup also in English....
And with my school - children we did a Dutch version (as a prayer)...
Thank u
I've been a choir singer for many years and conductor of a small choir in my city, and this song and this particular arrangement and the emotion that each of the singers in your wonderful choir transmit when they sing this song, is one of the most moving things I've ever heard in my whole life. I cry every time I hear you sing. My sincere congratulations to all and greetings from Brazil.
The Arrangement The Conductor is Expandable He knows his Stuff
Este coro maravilloso está formado por personas solo de Sudáfrica? Quién es el Director?
the joy of hearing foreigners singing your language
it just makes you feel special and this was just amazing......
❤❤receive love from Kenya
@Mcebisi Bekwa But they did an excellent job considering that they do not speak Swahili in their country
Is it just me or is everyone in this choire extraordinarily good looking? Female as well as male people
Everyone is beautiful.
Happiness and smile make everyone beautiful. They were also probably coached to show the best of themselves, and you can see that they are not all models types.
That’s what I was thinking! South Africans are hella pretty.
It is the "Our Father."
Because they are smiling :)
Now *this* is performance. Notice how they do the “not moving very much but doing something in time with the music” thing, except they look AWESOME doing it. Because they are all invested, in the moment, and most importantly LOVING EVERY MOMENT. This is what choral music should aspire to be.
Doesn’t hurt that the singing was absolute perfection too!
univeristy of racism...thats is waht it should be callled
@@entertainmentnews5355why do you say so?
Choral music can be whatever anyone pleases doesn't have to be one style of singing only....Africans have their own deal with it and get over your small minded self mxm
They put everything into that performance. Should've got a standing ovation but the crowd is full of old people lol
@@entertainmentnews5355 So sad you say so. If I was Andre van der Merwe I would invite you for an audition and - provided you are talented - to join this amazing choir.
As someone who meditates on the Our Father daily - reciting it in both English and isiZulu - now hearing it sung in Swahili is nourishing for the soul. This arrangement has become like a prayer for me when I need light and strength.
Let’s acknowledge the sterling performance of the drummer too 🥰🫡
One can see that the conductor is loving his job,love it.
He conducts for many different choirs. He even worked with my high school choir (Stellenberg High School). He's a really lively man😁
Attitude is important, Especially in high school, the way you present yourself can bring the music to life thus the conductor has a role too if needed to show the appropriate emotion
He’s such a joy to watch
Kabisa🤗👌
It's in him, so much dedication. Doing what you love is so fulfilling.
This performance has just been voted as the best mixed choir performance at the Llangollen Eisteddfod in 25 years! Well deserved Stellies!
Ich komme aus Deutschland, Mecklenburg.
Ich bin immer wieder begeistert von dieser Musik.
Wir sind alle Menschen und sind vereint.
Gott segne uns alle.
Аминь брат!
This is the most incredible version of this song EVER.
In the middle of an international pandemic, at a time when over 2 million people have died and over 101 million people have been infected worldwide, I needed to hear this song today. Twice. I needed to see people together, without masks and with no need of social distancing. Singing the Lord's Prayer with such joy and so much hope in their young faces. I pray we get back to this place soon. And when we do, please reprise this song with the new class of students in your choir. Thank you.
I really want us together again😢😢
@@harrydastukwa666 Amen! Thank God for the vaccines!! So hopefully you'll be able to reprise this song again... (reasonably) soon!
@@operasanger uh oh looks like the vaccines don’t work anymore.
Hear hear ⭐️💫
Big Amen🙏🏾❤🤗
As someone who was part of an allstate choir I can tell you that a choir feeds off the energy of the conductor. The members each have such great chemistry and love of the song, but they are also taking their emotion direct from him. He's doing a fantastic job and you can tell he is feeling the music too and that translates to the performance. Great work all around, beautiful rendition of an amazing song.
Exactly..you can tell how much the conductor loves his people as they sing for him with so much love..
Exaclty!! Touché! That's exactly what stands out on this version - every single person is completely focused on their brilliant conductor and all feeling it deeply - the result is unbelievable good. And amazing to see black and white together being simply what we all are - human beings. ...At their best, may I add.
Amen to that!
во Христе все семья, только Он объединяет всех нас и это так радостно... Много раз прослушала, и радость и слезы, спасибоооо тебе Любимый наш Бог, Отец
This is beautiful. God pulled me out of the fire and set my feet on the rock. Glory to His name! Jesus Christ.
Am a Kenyan watching them harmonize the Lord's prayer in my national language. My heart is in Heaven right now. Thank you.
For those who want to sing along, here are the lyrics :
Baba yetu, Yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina!
Baba yetu Yetu uliye
M jina lako e litukuzwe.
Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe

Could you give me the lyrics for the first solo singer? I need to learn his bit. Thank you very much!
ThankYOU🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🥰
Gall from Rwanda, East Africa. It is incredible how they sing with elegance in our language. Good work people!!
I've listened to almost every cover songs, but this version is the best...
I love how expressive the young men's faces are at 0:28. They really put their whole selves into this beautiful performance. Glory to God 🙌
And their jumping brows))
@@eupatorusgracilicornis4527 yes! Lol
This how winners are looking like
Makes me quite emotional actually.
Fuck off with the God bullshit please and thank you.
Goosebumps every time.
This is how it sounds, if you don't just sing, but if you feel the music deep within. I've listened to this dozens of times and it's just awesome.
YES♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏻🥰
Those Sopranos are so clear and crisp! Also the young men are so expressive! Great choir
Wonderful piece "our father who art in heaven" in swahili. Mbarikiwe sana
the altos are also amazing, dont leave them out!!!
They sound like angels wah❤😂
@@andii- the Altos too❤
If I am not mistaken, the sopranos are marked with red necklaces....
As a South African immigrant to the UK, this had me in tears. This song represents everything that is right with my home country.
bring you to tears so why you leave sounds like your full of shit if you love your culture so much why you living in a white culture only to use there resources and schools makes you a Hippocratic

sandra martinez hippocratic BRUH Lmaaaooo hop off dude they were making a nice comment everyone has their reasons for having to leave their home. Absent minded people like you make this world a terrible place 🙊🙈
@@sandramartinez585 bruh what? Everyone has there reasons for leaving. I'm an immigrant and I love my omeland and am sad I had to leave it as well. Just because you leave your home country doesn't mean you dislike it.
@@sandramartinez585 It brings us to tears BECAUSE of how much we miss our home.
Also, don't bring Hippocrates into this, I doubt he was as hypocritical as you.
God foreigners are enjoying Swahili song for sure we serve a living God .feels nice from 🇰🇪 kenya
What keeps me coming back to this just has to be the overflowing pride and joy from everyone involved; they look like they're having fun and are so satisfied with singing this at the end it's great
If there's one thing I know South Africans can do better than anyone in the world its forming a choir 🙌🇳🇬

I sang baba yetu in my high school choir. It was beautiful and my school won competitions
Much love from Kenya, I swear this should be UN national anthem
True
@Thea Green lol
Definitely not. This is a Christian song. The majority of the world is not Christian.
@@Nemshee Yes it would be weird to open civ 4 and hear un anthem run on the main menu.
@Thea Green we don't need to be Christian to sing or appreciate this song. The music is most important here. Your statement on UN is not pertinent. And if god was more rejected, life would be better in some part of the world under superstition's pandemic !
Im swahili native from Tanzania🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿 i am really blessed🇹🇿
Je suis gabonaise originaire du Sud. dans ma langue maternelle (sango) notre père est traduit tata yetu. plus j'avance dans mes recherches sur les peuples bantu plus je réalise que l'Afrique ne doit pas existé entant qu'état mais plutôt comme un seul territoire. de l'est au centre de l'Afrique en passant par le sud de l'Afrique nous pouvons nous entendre pour créer une langue commune. L'Afrique est grande, belle , puissante et la gloire de Dieu est sur ce continent.
Que Dieu ouvre d'avantages les yeux des peuples africains afin que nous soyons totalement affranchie de nos chaînes mentales.
Merci
If you are so sure in your faith, you should realize that god wants everyone to stick to their culture and language. You should research how the Germanic, slavic etc languages correlate with each other. Its the same for African languages
I'm a Swahili native from Tanzania, really it is awesome when you see people join together and sing the gospel song because of praising our God.
The God is one, People are in one biological familia, Black, White, Asians, Old, Young, Women, Men all of us are human. I really impressed. One love.
How does that audience not spring to their feet at the end? I do and I'm at home! What an incredible, incredible performance!
How many times can you watch it and not feel such great joy and happiness each time!! The answer is infinity!
Next time we send a space probe out of the solar system (like Voyager 1 and 2), this needs to be stored on it, as a testimony of who we humans are and the civilization we've built on Earth.
There are no other planets,there are no other solar system, NASA is a big lie, bit a lot of people are awoken,There is Only One God,There is Only One Jesus Christ!There are no other planets,there are no aliens but evils spirits/demons all living around us in the unseen realm .Put on the full armour of God, be grounded in the word of God,be grounded in your faith,this world is not what it seems,this world is not what we ve been lied and deceived for thousands of years.
God is The Only Way,God is the Light,The Truth and the Power of all!

Oscar Barton I’ve always wondered what the song means!!! Please what does it mean ? I’ve sang it sine I was so so little lol ... with no meaning
Female_ Tiger This is the Lord’s Prayer in Swahili. “Baba Yetu” means “Our Father.” The words follow Jesus’s teaching exactly.
Oscar Barton, Swahili is a beuatiful language. is it delightful to hear it!!!!!
it means our father in heaven ...your name be praised ! Thats the whole theme of the song ! and the words are from the bible i think the book of mathew ! where the jesus discples asked jesus to teach them how to pray 😀😀😀😀i have tried to explain with my broken english ...just try to get the meaning and not judging the verbs @female tyga

Africa, Europe, Asia, America, Oceania... we live in a magnificent world and languages are an incredible heritage of our diversity in unity.
All women and men living on this magnificent planet.
All with dreams, joys, sorrows, struggles and hopes.
Wars, pollution, disease... we are destroying it.
"Baba Yetu" is a musical prayer, a spiritual song, that crosses the boundaries of religious faiths.
It is a hymn of brotherhood.
Thank you for this beautiful testimony of diversity in unity.
Insane I didn't know that this was the Lord's Prayer in Swahili until after it ended. Through out while I was watching, I just knew that the song was powerful for some reason.
The most beautiful part of music is that you don't have to know what they are singing, but when you feel the music you know there is love in this world!!!
You're absolutely right!
The "Our Father" is indeed, not only a prayer, but a declaration of love to God, so it all makes sense! :)
Yes!! Because these are the words of Jesus!! There is life and everything good in Jesus. And He IS THE HOPE OF THE WHOLE WORLD!! ALLELUIA!!😍

Our Lord God Jesus Christ loves it when we sing his praises. And singing the Holy Prayer he taught us is beautiful and a great tribute to him. The Lord's Prayer is simple but powerful. And to our Father in Heaven Jesus, we give unlimited glory.🙏
If there are choirs like this on earth how about HEAVEN
I have listened to this hundreds of times. On each occasion, I can't help but play it at least three times over. I never tire of it. The arrangement is brilliant and the voices angelic. Makes me emotional every time. Perfection. How exhilirating it must be to be a member of this choir, performing this piece. Thank you performers and conductor for this gift.
This is a Swahili language mainly spoken in Eastern Africa . In Kenya and Tanzania is their official language. Am from Kenya
I can't help it, whenever I listen to this song the tears are just rolling down my checks, there is a power in that song and how it is performed that I cannot explain.
This is Lords Prayer sung in Swahili language. Lords Prayer is perhaps the very most powerful prayer there can be. Jesus personally taught it in pages of New Testament (of course other prayers can be stated to Him also). He Himself must have been happy and proud to hear this song. Perhaps even Lords Spirit was involved! (that would explain the power) This was even more impressive performance than how most gospel choirs do it.
Goosebumps all over .....can't help the tears. May our God be praised forever.
South Africans ,we East Africans are proud of you.
We South Africans LOVE you Easties a lot

Best song in Swahili done by other nationalities.
That's legit talent 🌟🏆🌟
I'm crying so hard rn
Thank you!
Thank you for your comment about the accuracy of this song in Swahili.
It is impressive that they achieved harmony beyond apartheid.
I sang this in college for choir and its just impossible not to groove to it when you're singing.
1:03 the moment the conductor realised that his choir is just killing it😍 THIS IS BEAUTIFUL❤️

@Peter Mwangi Ignorant.
@@Abdullah-ft4lw Realistic. Arabic language isn't so well seen in the world nowadays. Sadly...
Love from the United States ❤️❤️🇺🇸❤️❤️

Thank you, am happy and blessed hearing you guys singing praise song in my native language "KISWAHILI". Love you from Tanzania.
For those those who may not know. This was a performance of Baba Yetu,, the lord's prayer in Kiswahili, a language spoken mainly in East Africa. It was performed by the Stellenbosch university choir situated in the town of Stellenbosch just outside of Cape Town in South Africa. I speak under correction but I think this performance was in Wales.
There’s a way it hits different when you hear foreigners sing in your language and do it perfectly! I’m humbled, God is for us all🙌🙌bless your souls🙌🏆🏆
Praise God. :D
