Original Soundtrack

Co-director of The Letter, Maia Lekow, also a prominent Kenyan musician, was inspired over the six years of filming to compose a poignant original score for the film.

Composing mostly with vocals and guitar, Maia joined forces with Emmy-winning, Toronto-based composer Ken Myhr to grow the sonic and emotional range of 9 original tracks. Maia's rich vocal textures act as a spiritual guardian for Grandma and the vulnerable elders of the film, and we are pleased to make it available for all, via your favourite streaming platforms.

All songs written & performed by Maia Lekow & Ken Myhr.

Except 10 by Utamaduni Brass Band, and 11 by Vidze Kaladze Vidze

Percussion by Kasiva Mutua

Additional Cello by Anne Bourne

Mixed by Nico Berthold at Viktoria Studios, Berlin
