Long Way Down - Soundtrack To The TV Series From Real World Records
Long Way Down - Episode 3
The riders continue east and south through the continent. Crossing through sandstorms in Libya to the music of Abdelli and the Boxer Rebellion and south to the great pyramids of Geza to the Afro Celt Sound System. A quick flight into Kenya has a soundtrack of Ayub Ogada and Geoffrey Oryema then back on the bikes and taking the ferry from Aswan to the Musicians of the Nile. As the journey takes on a more positive note you can hear Big Blue Ball's 'Whole Thing' and the extraordinary scene of brick makers at sunrise is accompanied by the Afro Celt song 'Onnwards'. Astonishing scenery in Ethiopia and the uplifting BT and Sasha and finally the closing credits bring Geoffrey Oryema's 'Ye Ye Ye'.
