There is less than a week until the theatrical release of the highly anticipated animated film Encanto and Walt Disney Records has released the movie’s original motion picture soundtrack.
The Encanto Original Motion Picture Soundtrack includes eight original songs from songwriter and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), an original score by composer Germaine Franco (Dora and the Lost City of Gold), one reprise, and one end-credit version of a song from the film. The digital version of the soundtrack will also include instrumental versions of the songs.
I learned so much about their rhythms and styles during the production process and I hope the audience can use the soundtrack as a gateway to discover Colombian music.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
In the featurette below, Lin-Manuel Miranda discusses the music of Encanto and the heart and soul of Columbian music.
