Baba Yetu is a Swahili translation of The Lord's Prayer, arranged for a choir. In February, it won a Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalists. None of which would be terribly remarkable, except that Baba Yetu was written as the theme music for a video game. Hooray for video games (or components thereof) gaining legitimacy as art! The screenshot above is Civilization IV, the source of the music.
