If you like your dramatic and emotional music scores with a touch of Africa, then you'll like Mama Dance's latest moody offerings.
From tension to unease and melancholy to epic, they've launched a variety of new album series especially to cater for emotive and nail biting African dramas, soaps, doccies and cinema.
Last year we decided to really focus on the evocative film score and moody underscore side of the library. Our aim was to gain more usage in daily TV dramas and other programming that required strong moods with a hint of Africa in the sound. So we briefed our best composers accordingly and they created emotive music beyond our expectations. Our income through the NORM / CAPASSO TV blanket license has more than doubled, so we feel that the hard work of all concerned has paid off! says Mama Dance MD, Craig McGahey.
AFROdrama and under_SCORES focus on a variety of strong minimal moods whilst Afrocinematic, Homelands and Heroes, Cine Africa, Epic Journeys and Legends of Africa cover the epic orchestral and cinematic ground.
Recent programmes using the Mama Dance Music Library are Binnelanders, Ispani, Generations, Doctors orders, 50/50, Top billing, , IDOLS, Kollig, Groen, Treknet, Kwela, Kaelo Stories of Hope , Born frees, and Big Brother.
Tracks from Mama Dance as well as international libraries Atomica, Popvirus, Inspired, RSM, Minds & Music, Catapult and Undercurrents can be searched and downloaded at www.mamadance.com or hard drives can be requested from Craig, Dale or Jeff at 021 424 0314 info@mamadance.com
