Sound/Music of Tsotsi

During the movie, one of its highlights was the music. It was both upbeat and sad. What stood out in this movie more than others was the choice in style of music during certain parts. For instance, there were some scenes where you'd think the music should be a little more aggressive or sad feeling. But other parts that got it spot on was right in the beginning. When Tsotsi and his friends are walking down the street, the music portrays them as "tough" and not to be messed with. But perhaps the culture is different with their music. Maybe they just wanted to share there music anyways and it wasn't as vital to them. Or they wanted to get a reaction of the audience. Overall, we only know that sometimes the music throws off some scenes in the movie.
