Baba Yetu

Lots of top notch talent goes into video games. Shame the mainstream dont see that often enough. I was always a fan of Jeremy Soule's music for the Black Isle games and Alexei Zakharov's sounstrack to the X series space games.

Oddly, the version of the song in the video is not quite the same as the one used in Civ IV. Compare with the one here:

Samples > Civilization IV (the first one)

No one should have to buy this awesome song! If you do a little file digging in your computer, it is easy to find! go into the main game files, and search around for a sounds folder! the file will be called main theme.

You can also check that out here at Neatorama:

Such a great song! As inspirational as it is to see it set to the triumphant scenes from the game, I enjoy it more as music for the Dubai Fountain in front of the Burj Khalifa in United Arab Emirates. Go check it out:

Now, how to go about convincing Bellagio in Las Vegas to put "Baba Yetu" in the song rotation for their fountain...
