Ludwig Goransson's Black Panther - Original Score. Available here on LP.
Ludwig Göransson’s spectacular score captures the multiplicity of the fictional nation of Wakanda. It’s a testament to Göransson that he gives the score’s most resounding moments over to the African diaspora. Near Black Panther’s end, T’Challa takes the wounded Killmonger to a cliff so the tragic warrior can gaze upon Wakanda’s majesty. The orchestra gives the scene a climactic weight, but it eventually recedes to push Baaba Maal’s weeping croons to the forefront. There’s triumph mixed with a sense of mourning as he sings to this beautiful, fictitious land. Alas, the sun must set on Wakanda as well.
