“It was really tough because we had a sound with themes and instruments from the first movie that I couldn't use again and all of those themes has so much meaning to it,” Göransson says. Felt in the double-time rhymes of Rema and Alemán (“Pantera”) and an ethereal coming-together of newcomers CKay and PinkPantheress (“Anya Mmiri”) is the resilience of African and Mesoamerican cultures-glistening with tradition but thriving through bright reinvention. Traditional flutes and drums combine for thrillingly fluid sections (Fireboy DML’s “Coming Back for You”), and the sweeping head rush of amapiano also appears on “Love & Loyalty” (by DBN Gogo, Sino Msolo, Kamo Mphela, Young Stunna and Busiswa), recorded in Lagos, West Africa’s central music hub.

“For this movie and soundtrack especially, Ryan and I wanted to create a soundworld that's incredibly immersive, where you can't tell the difference from song and score,” Ludwig Göransson tells Apple Music. This is perhaps in part down to the return of Ludwig Göransson-who composed the score for Wakanda Forever and its 2018 predecessor-who co-helms (alongside Archie Davis, Dave Jordan and director Ryan Coogler) this new, brilliantly diverse run of original tracks.
