In the Thomas Newman style, this track contains suggestion of African elements in a light , fresh contemporary urban presentation. Percussion driven, with piano and voices, this is pure underscore, with a consistent texture that will drive picture and is highly editable. A button ending is easily edited into a fade to picture. At home in drama or comedy, it adapts itself to the picture it is placed against, and is extremely versatile.
