Shot in Kenya, City of God director Fernando Meirelles' The Constant Gardener is a taut political thriller that follows the murder of an activist in South Africa. Longtime Pedro Almodovar collaborator Alberto Iglesias provides a soft, spacious, and ultimately devastating score that utilizes native instrumentation like the marimba, thumb harp, and ronroco. Iglesias uses this folk instrumentation as a base for orchestrations that are as beautiful as they are anxious, resulting in a soundtrack with a distinct sense of place that's contemporary enough to engross listeners from any cultural standpoint. Highlights include "Roadblock," "Procession," and two outstanding pieces from Kenyan-born worldbeat artist Ayub Ogada. ~ James Christopher Monger Constant Gardener Soundtrack Music | List Price | $23.98 (You save $6.19) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Rap CDs, Soundtrack | | Label | Higher Octave | | Orig Year | 2005 | | All Time Sales Rank |  30801  | | CD Universe Part number | 6923797 | | Catalog number | 3368872 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Aug 16, 2005 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | Alberto Iglesias | | Additional Info | Original Soundtrack |
Constant Gardener Soundtrack Songs Constant Gardener Soundtrack Music Review Average Rating: (4.3 out of 5 stars)   Devastating
The movie is soaked in truth. It speaks to many people, and on many levels. Certainly, one of the best movies I have ever seen. I saw it in the USA and I have been encouraging as many people as I can here in England to see it. And the soundtrack matters: the repeated 'Kothbiro' gives a sense of peace and expectation. I've just obtained the CD, after desperately trying to get hold of it in shops and the net. Buy it, see the movie, read the book. You'll be taken through the hell of an ordnary man's experience of hell, but uplifted. Just wonderful.
