After Chadwick Boseman passed, Ludwig Göransson had to rethink the WakandaForever soundtrack. “How are we going to be able to use these instruments and these themes if he’s not there?” he tells VF.
had to rewrite the sequel, Göransson realized he’d have to start from scratch as well.
Göransson spent a lot of time learning about instruments that were completely new to him, including one he says is called the flute of truth. “It's almost like a dog whistle, but for the human ear it’s like a thousand times more uncomfortable,” he says. “I couldn’t even be in the room with the person playing it because it was so ear piercing.”
After working with the music archeologists during the day, Göransson would spend his evenings gathering that material and making beats and songs out of it, along with working with indigenous and contemporary singers and rappers. Coogler and Göransson had decided to change their process in another notable way this time around: They aimed to create “a unique, immersive sound experience where the songs and score are all one format,” says Göransson.
Coogler and Göransson spent 10 days in Nigeria, which he describes as a musical hotspot, with more than 350 tribes that have their own instruments and languages. Just like in Mexico City, he recorded both traditional and contemporary artists. “It was nice to be part of that there and to take part of that energy,” he says. “That’s also why this music could never have sounded like this if we would’ve had artists come to LA. We just wanted to make it sound as true as we can make it.
Göransson had to eventually turn back to his initial concern: Without T’Challa, where would the music go? He eventually decided he’d have to focus on the new Black Panther, his sister Shuri. The character, played byis struggling with her own grief throughout much of the film. For her theme, Göransson relied heavily on the human voice, particularly Tems. We first hear Shuri’s theme in the scene in which she’s talking to her mother by the riverbed.
