Oscar-winning film in the 2006 Foreign-Language category.
Tsotsi is a gritty and moving portrait of an angry young man living
in a state of urban deprivation. Set amidst the Johannesburg
township of Soweto, Tsotsi traces six days in the life of a young
gang leader who ends up caring for a baby accidentally kidnapped
during a car jacking. This dramatic event will drive Tsotsi into an
unexpected relationship with this baby where he will discover the
true meaning of adulthood, love and life. The soundtrack features
several tracks by South African Kwaito (South Africa's hip-hop)
legend, Zola, including his most acclaimed hits Mdlwembe, ItÆs Your
Life, Bhambatha as well as other Kwaito/hip-hop musicians. Tsotsi
also features an atmospheric score composed by Paul Hepker and Mark
Kilian.
Some reviews:
As the soundtrack to the Oscar-winning film in the 2006
Foreign-Language category, this album documents a number of
performers out of South Africa. The film vividly portrays ghetto
life in the Soweto Township. Fittingly, the music featured is often
a gritty but danceable style of local hip-hop called kwaito. This
emerging form is strong on beats with plenty of rapping and
sing-along choruses. Zola, who does nine of the 19 tracks, is a
superstar of the genre and is such a standout here that he should
be able to parlay his soundtrack appearances into a music career
outside his homeland. Highlights are the hard-hitting "Mdlwembe,"
the dancehall-like "It's Your Life" and the infectious "Ehlala." Of
the other performers, Pitch Black Afro gets taste points on
"Matofotofo" for sampling Screamin' Jay Hawkins' classic "I Put A
Spell On You." There are a few mellower tracks too, but really this
is an excellent survey of kwaito music and its brightest star.
--Tad Hendrickson
Adapted from a novel by Athol Fugard, Tsotsi is set in the ghettos
of Johannesburg and its soundtrack reflects the movie's "boyz in
the (South African) hood" grittiness (Totsi, the lead character's
name, translates as "thug"). The majority of the tracks are
contributed by Zola, who also plays a supporting part in the film
and offers a hard-driving yet melodic take on kwaito, a genre
usually referred to as South Africa' answer to hip-hop. Among the
non-Zola highlights are Pitch Black Afro' "Matofotofo," which
starts off with a sample from Screaming Jay Hawkins's "I Put a
Spell on You" before switching to a shuddering bass line. The CD
slows down from the driving kwaito pace only when it inserts a
score by Paul Hepker and Mark Kilian. Fortunately these tracks are
short and serve as a brief respite before Zola comes back in and
delivers a harsh final assault. American fans of hip-hop (and
American rappers themselves) would be well-advised to check out
this disc. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Framed against a tumultuous backdrop of political strife, personal
grief and general un-rest, "Tsotsi" is the story of a gang leader
of the same name who grew up in the slums of Johannesburg, South
Africa. After losing his parents at the age of nine to the AIDS
epidemic that has crippled Africa, Tsotsi takes to a life of crime
and brutality. Having murdered a woman who's automobile he
carjacked only to find her infant son in the back seat, "Tsotsi"
follows our protagonist through the next six days as he decides to
care for the child.
The film, which was nominated for Best Foreign Language film at the
2006 Academy Awards, has a rich soundtrack that carries the film
and captures the urban and brash environment that Tsotsi must
survive in. Mostly comprised of music by South African
poet/actor/musician "Zola", the tracks are gritty and unforgiving,
reflecting the urban brutality that is an everyday reality. After
having grown up in the ghetto of Zola (which he later took for his
stage name) in the town of Soweto, the authenticity of Zola's music
is unmistakable. Having lived the streets and poor conditions
himself, the soundtrack of "Tsoti" never fails in reminding the
listener of the harsh way of life that most in Western society will
never have to experience.
Even the tracks that are not contributed by Zola never stray in
portraying their authenticity; tracks such Mafikizolo's
"Mnt`Omnyama" and Unathi's "Sghubu Sam" show a gentler side of
their African heritage when juxtaposed against the majority of
Zola's tracks. And while not all of Zola's tracks are brash, it
unquestionably draws on the complex sense of hope and redemption
that is one of the film's underlying themes and questions. Can an
urban thug finally face his past in order to come to terms with his
future? The parallel lives between Zola and Tsotsi are
unmistakable. Perhaps, unfortunately, the best comparison for
Americans to reference is Eminem's poignant use of music in his
semi-autobiography "8 Mile," though Eminem can't begin to compare
to the gritty and weathered vocals that make "Tsotsi's" soundtrack
so convincing.
