Composed by Hans Zimmer, Lebo M, and Mark Mancina. Arranged by Brian Strohmetz. Broadway,Film/TV,Multicultural,Musical/Show,World. 72 pages. Brian Strohmetz #633740. Published by Brian Strohmetz (A0.1030571).For Orchestra, Solo Vocalist and Choir, 'Shadowland' is a song from the musical The Lion King (1997), composed by Lebo M., Hans Zimmer, and Mark Mancina. It originated from Lebo's album Rhythm of the Pride Lands (1995) based on 'Lea Halalela (Holy Land)'. The lyrics, inspired by Lebo's experiences of exile during apartheid, delve into themes of refugeeism and survival. Originally performed by Heather Headley as Nala and Tsidii Le Loka as Rafiki, the song narrates Nala's departure from the Pride Lands, disillusioned by its deterioration under Scar's rule. Director Julie Taymor used 'Shadowland' to deepen Nala's character, considering it the standout piece of the show. This soulful power ballad, sung in English and African languages, blends African percussion with European orchestration and pop vocals, echoing themes of feminism, injustice, and the environment. 'Shadowland' has garnered acclaim for its performers and its powerful, universal message.
