Rhythm of the Pride Lands

Rhythm of the Pride Lands is an album released by Walt Disney Records as a "sequel" to the original motion picture soundtrack of Disney's The Lion King.
The CD was originally an independent project developed by Jay Rifkin and Lebo M and included songs and performances inspired by, but not featured in the film except for "Busa" and "Lala". As the project developed, Disney came on board and supported the project.The Lion King: Platinum Edition (Disc 2), Music Origins. Walt Disney Home Entertainment. 2003.
Most of the tracks were composed by African composer Lebo M and focused primarily on the African influences of the film's original music, with most songs being sung either partially or entirely in various African languages. Several songs featured in the soundtrack would be used for other Lion King-oriented projects such as "Lala" and "Lea Halalela" which were rewritten as "Endless Night" and "Shadowland" for The Lion King stage musical and its direct-to-video films, The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1½.
Rhythm of the Pride Lands was initially printed in a very limited quantity. Today, it is available digitally through the iTunes Store.
