Free Music Notes for Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony
Free Music Review: Perfection itself
Hit: 5 Stars
Perfection itself. So necessary if one has seen the documentary "Amandla". These songs are the canon of the anti-Apartheid revolution. My favourites are "Beware, Verwoed", "The Untold Story", and "Toyi Toyi".Free Music Review: Wonderful

Hit: 4 Stars
Winner of the Audience Award and Freedom of Expression Award at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, Amandla! A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony tells the story of black South African freedom music and reveals the central role it played in the long battle against apartheid. The soundtrack for this documentary carries the heart and soul of the film. The music is the message, and its repeated on the soundtrack. Loaded with tracks from famous freedom singers such as Vusi Mahlasela, Mbongeni Ngema, and the Robben-Island Prison Singers, the soundtrack takes you back to this struggle for freedom, and fills you with the emotions that most certainly drove the people of South Africa to overthrow Apartheid.
Perhaps the best thing about this soundtrack(and the film), is its power to motivate. Music has long been the drum of calling to bring people together for a common cause, and this soundtrack exemplifies what exactly that can do to a movement.
Free Music Review: Very, very good.
Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this expecting something completely different from what i got. Being immersed basically in American music, i assumed it would all be lumped under the broad category of 'world' music that i always see at the mall. But i learned from this that Africa is a place, not a musical genre, and this album contains all types of music, from typical 'african' music to african rock, and songs like the Hugh Masekela track, which is more like a rock/reggae/bob marley type thing. Basically, it's a very worthwhile album, and i recommend it to anyone.
