Why do we always have to have European opera music playing with these some of the most warlike people in Africa. Why? Play their own African music for once.
the song is Ave Maria and it was sung in 1904 by the last castrato (!) of the Vatican: Alessandro Moreschi. Werner Herzog himself edited this lyric over the images of the Wodaabe (so do not blame uploader), probably as an ironic reference to their androgynous (sic) resemblance.
@pilow82 oh - thanks for the information. But, I think they were androgynous looking to Europeans and that's my point. BTW - I like Ave Maria but couldn't even tell from this singing. : )
What's with the stupid European music in an African film? Idiot!
