Everywhere in the world, there is no movie without music. Although I have to say, Indians take their mix of film and music to the next level. In Nigeria, we have a deeply musical culture, but we don't have half-hour dances between our movies. However, we have had movie soundtracks so good that they actually got us dancing. Sometimes these were not actually soundtracks but songs by a character in the movie that went on to be released in audio albums by popular demand. Now this will feel like a throwback because I’m deliberately going for the old movies. So sit back and enjoy the memory rush.
- Nnemo nnemo -Nnena (Super Story WAP series)
- You and I will Live as One - Conspiracy (movie)
- E n shi ere -Emi Ni Ire Kan (movie)
- This Life - This Life (WAP series)
- Treasure - A Million Tears (movie)
- Love m oh Ihunanya -Christ in Me (movie)
- Igi Aruwe - Igi Aruwe (movie)
- Askamaya Anthem -Omo Ghetto (movie)
Super Story was a classic series in those days. Not only did they give us great stories back to back, but sometimes they left us with music that remained on our lips long after the story was over. While movie-making has come a long way in Nigeria, I still miss those old days. These days, less attention is paid to movie soundtracks. And I think the culture of soundtracks should be kept alive.
What movie soundtrack has remained with you to date?
