I tried to find the answer to my question on Google but nothing good came up. I was just wondering what type of "genre" of music God of Carnage uses in its production. When I saw the show on Sunday, and in the video previews, I was really hooked to the music during the curtain call and rising of the curtain. I know that Gary Yershon created the music for the show, but I doubt that there is any way to contact him to ask him about the music. If anyone has any clue as to what music they use, please tell me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Updated On: 5/25/10 at 09:31 PM

The music is African-influenced and was written specially for the UK premiere production. The end music was recorded with a group of South African singers.

This may be a dumb question, but do you know the group that recorded the vocals and music for the show? Or if they have any albums? Sorry if that seems like a weird question, I'm just so engaged into the music now that I have seen the show.

The singers were members of the Isango Portobello Company. You can find out more about them here:

Can't help you about albums.The websites might yield something.

Hey gyms, I forgot to thank you about that!

Also, I sent to the show about the music. The stage managers mentioned Gary Yershon and that's about it.
