Here is something interesting about Talisman. 

Some of you may be familiar with Civilization IV, one of the most popular computer strategy games of all time.  Its opening theme song became so popular that it was separately released.  The song went on to win a Grammy.  That song was an arrangement of the Swahili prayer song that Christopher Tin wrote and recorded with Talisman when he was a Stanford student.  One of the links above is the version of Baba Yetu that Talisman currently sings.

Here is the Civ IV version that won the grammy, in this case recorded with the Soweto gospel choir, not with Talisman.

I hadn't seen this before. Very cool.  Thanks.
