Dope Is Death (Original score - excerpts)| Ramachandra Borcar by Ramachandra Borcar published on 2021-02-02T07:28:30Z Original score for feature documentary by Mia Donovan "Dope is Death" now streaming on #VICE https://bit.ly/39IIJX7 during #BlackHistory month. About the score: The combination of Yoruba percussion instruments playing traditional rhythms, along with Puerto Rican Bomba & Plena instruments and patterns were meant to represent the two cultures featured in the film, who were both working together to fight for a common cause. Some of the other musical inspirations for the score came from LPs sprouting from independently run jazz labels of the 70s (Strata East, Black Jazz, Tribe, Flying Dutchman...). The grittiness of the Lee "Scratch" Perry and countless other dub artists' influence was meant to compliment the grainy archival footage used throughout Mia Donovan's film.
