The soundtrack to Lee Hirsch's documentary is recommended to people who enjoyed the film and anyone else who's interested in South African freedom songs. As noted in the album's liner notes, this is "only a snapshot of South Africa's musical landscape." It is mostly limited to protest music and is not as good an overall album as The Indestructible Beat of Soweto, for example. But it does feature a fine assortment of carefully chosen tracks that flow together relatively smoothly despite the differences in musical styles and recording dates (which range from "Meadowlands," released as a single in 1955, to tracks recorded in 2000 and 2001). It offers listeners a chance to hear studio and field recordings, chants and choral pieces, spoken word snippets, prison singers, and internationally renowned artists such as Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, and Hugh Masekela. It also serves as a showcase with several tracks by Vusi Mahlasela, whose credentials include guest vocals on the Dave Matthews Band's Everyday and a performance at Nelson Mandela's inauguration as president. The songs on this album are unified by an inspiring desire for freedom that makes Amandla! more than just a musical sampler and historical overview. ~ Todd Kristel Engineer: Tony Mangurian   Technical Info Release Date : 02/04/2003 Original Release Date : 2003 Catalog ID : 21510 Label : ATO Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00791022151022    Product Image
