spec me some african sounding music

I'm editing a load of photos into a video and need an african sounding theme or something similar to the pace of Enya "Now you are free" (the track on the Gladiator soundtrack)

I'm getting the hump because I can't find a bloody song!

What you need is some King Africa - Boooooooooommmmmmmmbaaaaaaaaa

Spunj99 · 22 Jan 2007 at 21:34

Try some Ali Farka Toure.

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes by paul simon. Good track, worth a download at least.

Baaba Maal, I think he did some of the stuff in Black Hawk Down

Just been through my collection, John Barry - Zulu isnt very sad, however its pretty 'African' dramatic sounding.

Sirrel Squirrel · 22 Jan 2007 at 22:36

Cheers, I tried the Zulu soundtrack earlier but it sounds dated now

will try the others though

Ladysmith Black Mambazo.

Simply fantastic.
