Composers Mark Kilian and Paul Hepker from Oscar-winning Best Foreign Language Film Tsotsi appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

ASCAP members Mark Kilian and Paul Hepker, who are originally from South Africa, scored the film Tsotsi, which received this year's Academy Award in March as Best Foreign Language film. They joined Vusi Mahlasela, who is affectionately known as "the voice of black South Africa" for a performance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno a few days before the Oscar telecast to promote the Tsotsi soundtrack on Milan Records. Included in the film were the songs of SAMRO writer and actor, Zola, who also appeared in the film.
