Amistad Soundtrack - 01 Dry Your Tears, Afrika

Amistad Soundtrack -01

[PrimalElf]

One of the greatest movies of all time and one of the Spielberg's underrated movies.

[Tupacos]

I almost always cry at the end when i read the last sentence in this movie ; " Cinque returned to Sierra Leone to find his own people engaged in civil war. His village was destroyed and his family gone. It is believed that they were sold into slavery. "

Sang this in high school choir. Still loving it about 15 years later.

Such a beautiful song, long live the Motherland!

I was given a hug from people from Guana, I'm a Kentucky farmer, served in the U.S. Army and I'm 6'5 white farmer and when someone started picking on them for speaking to each other in their language I went off on the guys that were doing it and gave them a history lesson on Africa and made them look idiotic. The guys from Guana were in shock that I knew so much. I have a history and anthropology degree from the University of Kentucky and a man I looked up to here in Kentucky was from Nigeria and always encouraged me to read and get an education and they thanked me for standing up for them. I didn't do much but made me feel like I did a little part, makes me think of the speech John Quincy Adams gave, Lord give me the courage to do what is

I don't find being ignorant cute.

I listened to the whole soundtrack and I remember what my ancestors suffered and suffered greatly and still people don't understand. I agree with you all just listen to the beginning and it speaks volumes

[investanyone]

one of the best songs and the movie is insane good!!!

[greenwave]

My middle name William is family tradition, my first name John, I truly believe was subconsciously picked as a tribute to this legendary composer. The richness of this theme is as eternal as any I have ever heard.

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of all the adversity my people have went through and still we RISE! WE ARE WORTHY!

[ChristinaOstil]

Africa is a beautiful continent. Praise to the men and women from Africa like Titus Masaku.

I'm such a music fan I fell inlove with this song first time I ever heard it when I was in 7th grade (1997)

I listened to the whole soundtrack and I remember what my ancestors suffered and suffered greatly and still people don't understand. I agree with you all
