The diverse choir stunned the audience with Baba Yetu and earned guest judge Olivia Munn’s Golden Buzzer.
The Angel City Chorale is a diverse choir, ages 19-88, from Los Angeles. Their stunning performance of “Baba Yetu” earned them a golden buzzer on America’s Got Talent 2018.
Baba Yetu (Swahili for “Our Father”) is the theme song for the 2005 video game, Civilization IV. It was composed by Christopher Tin, and performed by Ron Ragin and the Stanford Talisman.
For its re-release in Tin’s debut album Calling All Dawns, it was performed by the Soweto Gospel Choir.
The song, when released, became the first piece of video game music to be nominated and win a Grammy Award.
