Kenyan National Anthem (Orchestre national d'Île-de-France Edition)

An arrangement of Kenyan National Anthem for the Orchestre national d'Île-de-France.

Ee Mungu Nguvu Yetu"'s lyrics were originally written in Kiswahili, the national language of Kenya. The commission responsible for its creation included five members and was headed by the Kenya Music Adviser. The anthem was based on a traditional tune sung by Pokomo mothers to their children.

"Ee Mungu Nguvu Yet" is notable for being one of the first national anthems to be specifically commissioned. It was written by the Kenyan Anthem Commission in 1963 to serve as the state anthem after independence from the United Kingdom. The lyrics was intended to express the deepest convictions and highest aspirations of the people.
