Born Into Brothels score

[Colin]

The Academy Award-winning documentary Born Into Brothels
score was composed by John McDowell, leader of the group Mamma Tongue.

The vocals, for instance, are shared by Kirtan-chant
specialist Krishna Das (born Jeffrey Kagel) and Sabina Sciubba, the
Italian-German singer of the New York-based band Brazilian
Girls.

The enticing chant that closes the film is “Gopala,” Das, a
musician originally hailing from New York.
Das is an accomplished singer in the Kirtan style of chanting (invoking the
name of god multiple times). Used by many religions throughout India,
Kirtan is one of the oldest forms of meditation whose origins trace back over
500 years.

"Gopala" is another name for Krishna,
an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Krishna is called
"Gopala" because of his childhood adventures as a cow herder. The
name comes from "GO" which means "cow," and
"PALA" which is the verb for caretaking, so Gopala is "CARETAKER
OF THE COW."
