Music for SA Dramas, Thrillers, Doccies and Soapies
If you like your dramatic and emotional music scores with a touch of Africa, then you’ll like Mama Dance’s latest moody offerings ( click to listen to albums below).
From tension to unease and melancholy to epic, Mama Dance 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 albums 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, under_SCORES & Pianism 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.
(Mama Dance is a NORM / CAPASSO member so can be used under ETV, SABC, & most DSTV channels blanket license agreements)

Ben Amato and master percussionist Elad Neeman combine brilliantly on volume 2 of the Afrocinematic series.

The perfect combination of melody and space these subtle and exquisitely produced tracks from award winning composer Ryan Grogan are specifically designed for dramatic African productions. Focusing on mild tension, mystery and suspense this album is a MUST for dramas, doccies, soapies and wildlife programming.
