Hotel Rwanda / O.S.T.

Amazon.com The true-life account of Rwandan hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) and his courageous efforts to shield a thousand refugees from the genocide that swept his country in 1994 features a soundtrack that evokes both a range of rich African musical traditions and the horror of ancient tribal tensions pushed to a murderous breaking point. Afro Celt Sound System's "Mama Ararira" medley sets the tense, haunting dramatic tone, while a pair of contributions from group vocalist Dorothea Munyaneza underscore the innocent humanity at the heart of the tragedy. Elsewhere, South Africa's Yvonne Chaka Chaka offers up a lively homage to African beer, while the solo voice and guitar of Uganda's Bernard Kabanda detail a "Voyage to Europe." Offering a tasteful bridge to Western tastes is the rich, Golden Globe-nominated ballad "Million Voices" by the Fugees' Wyclef Jean as well as strong contributions from megastar writer/producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis (Debroah Cox's lament "Nobody Cares," the wistful "Ne Me Laisse Pas Seule Ici" ["Don't Leave Me Here By Myself"]). Equally disparate, the film's underscore cements it all into a compelling whole via the dark electro-atmospherics of Rupert Gregson-Williams and Andrea Guerra's melancholia-charged orchestral cues. --Jerry McCulley Product Description Hotel Rwanda: Music From The Film, features "Million Voices," a Golden Globe nominated original song performed by Wyclef Jean (Fugees front man), two new songs produced by legendary writer-producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "Nobody Cares," (performed by Deborah Cox) and Ne Me Laisse Pas Seule Ici (Don’t Leave Me Here By Myself performed by Tilly Key). Rounding out this fusion of world and pop music, the album includes original songs by the highly touted Afro-fusion Afro Celt Sound System. Music from South African singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Uganda's Bernard Kabanda are woven throughout, alongside the score from Rupert Gregson-Williams and prolific Italian composer Andrea Guerra (Che Ne Sara Di Noi, Le Barzellette). All of which, propel the powerful, moving soundtrack for the critically acclaimed film HOTEL RWANDA, starring Don Cheadle, Joaquin Phoenix and Nick Nolte.
