"Armadillo" Soundtrack

One of the many splendid things that helps make Armadillo so wonderful is it's amazing soundtrack. Relying on mostly modern African music with a few old classics thrown in, it helps to present to us the world as Lorimer Black sees it. A soundtrack CD/cassette sadly does not exist, however, this is a list of the music used in the film. It was originally posted at the discussion board at the A & E website which existed while Armadillo first aired in North America in August 2002. It appears here courtesy of Teri from the James Frain Yahoo! Groups List.
