24 Hours Left: Download the Nairobi Half Life Soundtrack for Free

The new gangster film, Nairobi Half Life is being lauded for the writing, direction, performances and the soundtrack. From the opening Five Steps of Death and To Live & Die in Eastleigh, the soundtrack is one of the best ones I’ve listened to.

If you haven’t seen the film, you will like it. Those who have, will love it since they get the context. The soundtrack features an eclectic mix of artistes from Just-A-Band to P-Unit to Alai K. The original soundtrack was done by Tom Tykwer collaborator, Xaver von Treyer, who also worked on the Soul Boy soundtrack.

Good news: you can get the soundtrack for free from Soundcloud. The bad news is you have limited time. The full original soundtrack album has been online for almost two weeks for free. From tomorrow, it will only be available for purchase. So, you can download the Nairobi Half Life here…if you want it for free, that is.

Here is the tracklist:
Five Steps of Death
Village Vibes
Kenyan Spartans
Hodi Nairobi (featuring P-Unit)
Welcome to Nairobi Dub
The Can
Cry Wolf Hatari Dub
Half Life
Fight Scene
To Live & Die in Eastleigh

Three more songs might be added to the list, probably the Just-A-Band and Alai K songs which are not listed in the purchase version. The OST only includes original music (duh!), so it does not have Just-A-Band and Alai K tracks.

Check out Nairobi Half Life at the Planet Media Cinemas at Westgate at 3:20 p.m. and 7:20 p.m. for Kshs. 350 on weekdays and Kshs. 450 on weekends.
