  • What's with the stupid European music in an African film? Idiot!

  • man please stop this gay music ..it doesnt even fit the background..

  • @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. : )

  • @KushaDwipa

    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.

  • 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.
