Uprize! (Music From The Original Motion Picture) is a striking collection from South African ensemble Spaza, created for the acclaimed documentary investigating the 1976 Soweto Uprising. Conceived in the collaborative spirit of Mushroom Hour Half Hour, these sessions capture the urgency and emotional resonance of a pivotal moment in South African history, blending impassioned improvisation with cinematic atmosphere.
Recorded over three days in a Johannesburg living room, the soundtrack channels outraged protest, hope, and transformation through dynamic free jazz and evocative soundscapes. With film excerpts woven into the recordings and a dedication to the memory of Senzo Nxumalo, this album stands as a powerful and visceral reflection on injustice, resilience, and change—making it a meaningful addition for listeners exploring global jazz, soundtracks, or politically inspired music.
