Emancipation (soundtrack)

The Emancipation soundtrack is the musical score accompanying the 2022 American historical action thriller film Emancipation, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Will Smith. The score was composed by Marcelo Zarvos.

The soundtrack features orchestral arrangements and utilizes elements of African musical traditions to create a soundscape that reflects the film's themes of resilience, perseverance, and the fight for freedom from enslavement. Zarvos's score aims to evoke the emotional journey of Peter (Will Smith's character), a man who escapes from slavery and embarks on a perilous journey to reunite with his family.

The Emancipation soundtrack typically includes instrumental pieces designed to underscore the film's dramatic moments, action sequences, and scenes depicting the harsh realities of slavery in the United States. The use of traditional African instruments and vocal performances may be incorporated to lend authenticity and emotional depth to the score. The soundtrack's release often coincides with the film's theatrical debut or streaming availability.
