Friday YouTube Nugget

Today's installment comes from the soundtrack of Sean Penn's film, The Pledge (2001). The film was little seen in its release, but was a fascinating examination of a retired detective's obsession with finding a child killer. One of the standout songs on the soundtrack was by an artist from Mozambique. The lead singer of that country's top dance band, Orchestra Marrabenta Star, Wazimbo recorded this song in 1988 and re-released it in 2001 when it gained popularity due to its use in the film.

Here is Wazimbo with "Nwalhulwana"
