First, the good news. The first track, Johnnie Taylor's "Just The One" is a fabulous number, and included in this cd is Brendan Fraser's hilarious rendition of "The Dolphin Song" as well as his dark, scary and convincing "Inside of You Inside of Me", which was cut from the film. The bad news: the soundtrack does not include the vibrant, tone-setting "Bem Bem Maria" (The Gypsy Kings) or the wonderfully appropriate closing theme, "Change Your Mind" (Sister Hazel). I found most of the tracks on this soundtrack forgettable or outright bizarre. In addition, the tracks are listed out of order on my copy. Overall, I found this to be a disapointment. Parts of it were good, just not enough of them.

After Brenden Fraser speaks with the man in the jail cell (God?), there is a hauntingly beautiful song playing in the background. This song is called Makambo by Geoffrey Oryema. Check out his music. Its all VERY beautiful.

Just thought I'd help!

Makambo by Geoffrey Oryema is the name of the song when Elliot is in jail. I love the guitar but it has some funky lyrics (kinda kills it IMO).

This movie (if you haven't seen it- and by the way, if you haven't you really should) was unbelievably hilarious. The scrpit, story and acting are all excellent. The soundtrack of the film allows you to revisit the movie. It takes you everywhere, from a smooth Spanish tune (When Brendan Fraser is a Cuban drug lord) to a thigh-slapping funny rendition of "the Dolpihn Song" which is sung by Fraser himself (when he portrays the most emotionally sensitive man alive). The one flaw to this CD is that it doesn't contain the song at the very end of the movie, Sister Hazel's "Change Your Mind" which I think was a perfect ending song, and should have been included in the soundtrack. Overall, this was a fabulous movie and a soundtrack that makes you feel like you are watching the movie again.

I really wanted to find the song played after Elliot meets "God" in jail. I found out it is Makambo by Geoffrey Oryema. It's easily the best song in the movie, and not even on the soundtrack! But it turned out for the best--after I found the artist, I bought his CD, Exile, and the entire album is beautiful! Much better than this lousy soundtrack. Check it out.

I enjoyed this movie and have seen it many times,
I particularly liked the scene when Brendan Fraser plays a Cuban drug lord. The music played in the background really sets the scene and I've been searching for it for many months,
its a real shame that It wasn't included in the soundtrack. Just for the record the track is called 'Bem, Bem Maria' performed by the 'Gipsy Kings'.

I know the Latin song that is not included on the soundtrack is called "Bem Bem Maria" and the song at the end is called "Change Your Mind", but does anybody know the name of the song that plays while Elizabeth is playing pool and the cueball bounces down the stairs to Brendan's feet?

The songs that most people would buy the CD for are not on the CD at all. Buy instead a Sister Hazel or Spanish Kings CD.

I'm pretty sure you're talking about "Makambo" by Geoffrey Oryema. It's on the Pure Moods CD. They DID leave out quite a few good songs from the movie, didn't they?

That "spanish" song you are referring to is called Bem Bem Maria by the Gypsy Kings. Buy the Best of the Gypsy Kings if you like that song. The entire cd is fantastic.

i've been looking for the name of that song that plays while he's in prison for 2 weeks now... i knew i heard it before but i didn't know where.. makambo.. awesome... i had the pure moods cd back in the mid-late 90's this saved me a lot of searching and brain racking... thank you for those who posted on this topic

this soundtrack only gets a rating of 2 because it has the dolphin song on it
