Low Tide: The MusicAbout the music used in the Kenyan short feature video: Low Tide. The ScoreThe original score for 'LOW TIDE' is composed by Thomas Crawfurd and Per Bundgård. The score consists of a theme with inspiration from 'Malaika' and an 'Action Theme'. Take a listen to the music below.
Malaika
The subject of 'Malaika' is also the subject of 'Low Tide' - so here it is. This special version from the end credits of 'Low Tide' is arranged and performed by Kizingo Arts Troupe of Mombasa.
The Kenyan musician Fadhili William was the first to put
Malaika on record back in the 50s and he is probably also the author
of the song. The song has been recorded by many other artists. Folow

(a cappella group) or Angelique
