So, I am listening to cd no.2 of VARESE THIRTIETH ANNIVERSARY set...
The first 17 tracks nearly put me to sleep; more wailing female vocals and pseudo- ethnic stylings...
..and then track 18, nine minutes of transcendent soul lifting Africana from TEARS OF THE SUN composed by Hans Zimmer
as in his glorious THE LION KING, Hanz proves, once again, his singular skill in composing and arranging music based on styles first developed on the African continent.
German born, English raised - who would thunk it?!
Has anyone here seen the film?
Any comments on it and the score?

Mr. Marshall, wonderful thread topic as there is much to talk about here (in the right company, of course).
Maestro Zimmer has worked with world music for much of his career, and by the time Tears of the Sun came around his "sound of Africa" was perfected. While Tears of the Sun is a particular favorite, we should begin our discussion of the African Journey with 1992's The Power of One...
.
I have it and love it.
Avoid the film at all costs - its an all-time worst piece of crap.
The album works without seeing the film because, as you mentioned, the songs are complete unto themselves and do not serve as underscore.
