Thanks man. I first heard this at the beginning of the Peter Gabriel protest song "Biko" and it really stuck with me. It's actually the South African national anthem.
Nkosi sikelel iafrica by The Soweto Gospel Choir and in total contrast, this is from Epicloud by Devin Townsend Effervescent! by Devin Townsend Project (Sorry, I couldn't get it on its own. It only lasts 45 seconds so if you want you can turn the video off after that)

Yes, Mudcat Café is a site I plan to revisit when I have time - gotta love the name, right? Quote:
Townsend: The opening bars reminded me of Queen for some reason, and nothing in the subsequent 45 secs was good enough to dispell that disagreeable impression, so my vote goes to:- Soweto: This didn't have any of the military bombast you might expect from a national anthem. In fact it's a charming song that doesn't even have a hook as far as I could tell. Given the history of SA, I couldn' t help noticing that the choir were black and the audience were (mainly) white; it made the warmth of the applause and the palpable good cheer of the performers quite moving, imo. Soweto Choir: 1 Devin Townsend: 1

I like Townsend, but god I can't stand that record. Too cheesy for its own good. The anthem gets it for me because I thought it sounded more organic in a way.
Soweto Choir: 2 Devin Townsend: 1
