Biography
Mafia - The City Of Lost Heaven (OST)
Mafia is a game set on the east coast of the USA in the 1930s. It was the era of Model-T Fords, zoot suits, The Great Depression and prohibition. It was also the era of jazz! Jazz was an emerging genre of music in the early 1920s and by the 30s it had taken root in America. To reflect this, much of the *unoriginal* music featured in ‘Mafia’ is 30s jazz, from such greats as Louis Armstrong, Django Reinhardt and Duke Ellington.
