On the musical front, Grammy-winning singer Tems has been named Executive Producer and Curator of the official soundtrack, contributing three original songs created exclusively for the project.
Joining her is Burna Boy, who will serve as Executive Music Consultant, while BNXN and Fireboy DML have also been confirmed as part of the film's soundtrack lineup.
Directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood, Children of Blood and Bone brings together an impressive cast, including Thuso Mbedu, Damson Idris, Viola Davis, Idris Elba, Cynthia Erivo, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King, and Amandla Stenberg.
With Nigerian artists playing key creative roles both on screen and in the film's music, Children of Blood and Bone is shaping up to be another landmark moment for Afrobeats and African storytelling on the global stage.
