Click on Image for more details.
Idi Amin will never be remembered as a fantastic humanitarian. Musically, he was known to play the accordion from time to time. However, the soundtrack to the movie based on his life is an extremely enjoyable trip through African music. A wide array of musicians join forces for this record, with Momo Wandel giving a fine performance on the warm, pedestrian paced Toko that features some fine solos on African wind instruments. Wandel here has a raspy bluesy voice that brings the song to life. Think of an elderly Ladysmith Black Mambazo and you get the gist of the number.
Unfortunately Amazon.com had no previews of the song I'm requesting but.. here is an alternate link to hear a preview.

I think you mean the score to Last King of Scotland by composer Alex Heffes.
Paul Clarvis is probably the percussionist on some of the score cues. Ambush is composed by Heffes according to SoundtrackCollector
Here's a short review of the score-

| The music is pretty evenly divided between regional folk songs and a score by Alex Heffes. As in "Blood Diamond" and "Catch a Fire", the songs are quite effective in helping establish a regional atmosphere, and one moment in particular is very funny, with an African choir singing "The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond" as Amin dances around in a kilt. The score is drastically different from the source cues, containing little to no African influences, taking more of a traditional drama/thriller approach. Heffes provides some pretty gritty, sometimes dissonant stuff, and his work is given the spotlight in the film's final act. There's a couple of thriller cues (leaning heavy on percussion) that are particularly impressive. The soundtrack on Rounder records features 20+ minutes of score and a wide array of songs from the film. |
