Cmo la compositora de Encanto', Germaine Franco, llev la magia y los sonidos de Colombia a oyentes de todo el mundo

03/02/2022

De vez en cuando, se lanza una pel cula con una banda sonora que los fan ticos no pueden quitarse de la cabeza. Tal es el caso de Encanto, que se estren en los servicios de streaming de Disney en noviembre y desde entonces ha presentado a la familia Madrigal a personas de todo el mundo.

La historia de Maribel Madrigal y su madre, t a, t o, hermanas y primas m gicamente dotadas tiene lugar en Colombia y cuenta con el apoyo de un elenco de actores, cantantes y productores latinos, incluida la compositora Germaine Franco, el compositor Lin-Manuel Miranda, y el cantautor Sebastian Yatra. Pero el mensaje de la pel cula, sobre la obligaci n con la familia, el legado del trauma y la presi n para conformarse, es universal, raz n por la cual la banda sonora se ha escuchado masivamente en m s de 20 idiomas y ha alcanzado el n mero uno entre los mejores lbumes escuchados en Spotify en 2022.*

Hasta el momento, la banda sonora de Encanto tiene m s de 494 millones de streams en todo el mundo,** y los pa ses con mayor ndice de escucha son Colombia, Estados Unidos, Filipinas, Panam , Islandia y el Reino Unido.

Parte de lo que est atrayendo a tanta gente de regreso a Encanto son los m ltiples xitos destacados, como Dos Oruguitas , que le vali a Sebasti n Yatra su primer sencillo entre los 20 primeros, y We Don't Talk About Bruno / No se Habla de Bruno , que se convirti en la primera canci n n mero uno de Lin-Manuel en Spotify en los Estados Unidos. a principios de enero y ahora tiene m s de 100 millones de streams en Spotify.***

Tambi n est dominando las listas internacionales, asegurando el puesto n mero uno en la lista Top 50 del Reino Unido de Spotify. Otras tres canciones de la banda sonora se ubicaron entre las diez primeras en la lista de consumo de canciones de Estados Unidos, incluidas Surface Pressure, What Else Can I Do? , y The Family Madrigal .

Saber que No Se Habla de Bruno' ha tocado tantos corazones de tantas generaciones diferentes de manera org nica es incre ble, y estar en el Top 50 de las listas musicales de Spotify es enorme , dijo Carolina Gaitan La Gaita, quien interpreta a la T a Pepa de Mirabel y lidera las voces en Bruno en las bandas sonoras en ingl s y espa ol de Encanto. Creo que ha sido una sorpresa para todos, pero sin duda ha sido la sorpresa m s bonita de mi vida .

La creaci n de Encanto es quiz s tan m gica como la historia misma. La huella sonora de Encanto se puede atribuir en gran medida a la compositora mexicano-estadounidense Germaine Franco, quien anteriormente hab a trabajado con Disney y Disney Animation como compositora, productora musical y orquestadora. Sin embargo, esta fue la primera vez que Germaine asumi el papel de compositora principal de una pel cula de Disney, lo que la convirti en la primera mujer en ocupar este puesto en la compa a. Despu s de trabajar con Lin-Manuel y Tom MacDougall, presidente de Disney Music, en una funci n animada anterior de Disney, la pareja le pidi a Germaine que se uniera al proyecto y colaborara con Lin-Manuel en los arreglos orquestales, la orquestaci n y la producci n adicional de las canciones de Lin-Manuel.

For the Record habl con Germaine sobre la composici n de Encanto, incluida la tarea que hizo para dar vida a la m sica colombiana en la pantalla.

C mo te preparaste para este proyecto? Para cada partitura que creo, me gusta sumergirme profundamente en la cultura de los protagonistas y las regiones espec ficas a la ubicaci n en la narraci n. Pas muchas horas escuchando y estudiando las estructuras, instrumentaci n, estilos de interpretaci n, armon as, melod as y ritmos de la m sica tradicional colombiana. Sent que los instrumentos colombianos me iban a dar inspiraci n, y as fue, especialmente la arpa llanera y la marimba de chonta, y sab a que la partitura ser a mucho m s rica si escuch ramos las voces aut nticas de m sicos y cantantes colombianos.

C mo introdujiste en la partitura elementos del realismo m gico , un tema literario prominente entre autores latinoamericanos/colombianos famosos? Cuando recib la llamada por primera vez, volv al coraz n del realismo m gico leyendo a Gabriel Garc a M rquez en espa ol. Tambi n le textos hist ricos sobre historia, m sica y literatura colombianas. Vi documentales y videos sobre la cultura colombiana. Quer a conectar con ese mundo m s all de la realidad de lo que se ve. Me imagin en ese mundo. Segu a pensando Cu l es el sonido del realismo m gico? mientras trabajaba.

Un elemento clave del realismo m gico en la partitura es la voz femenina. Imagin que las voces de las mujeres ser an representativas de este mundo. Me conect profundamente con la tradici n del estilo de cantadora presente en las regiones afrocolombianas de Colombia, y luego grabamos un coro en vivo de Colombia con Isa Mosquera, una de los coristas de la banda de Carlos Vives, y un coro de veintid s voces aqu en Los ngeles.

Otro aspecto del sonido del realismo m gico que constru proviene del sonido de muchas flautas hechas de madera natural, bamb , tocadas por el exquisito Pedro Eustache. La voz de Pedro se puede escuchar a lo largo de la partitura. Si escuchas, escuchar s la gaita, una flauta tradicional de Colombia y uno de mis instrumentos favoritos en la partitura.

Qu significa para ti y para otras mujeres o compositoras latinas tu participaci n en esta pel cula? Cuando me llamaron por primera vez para trabajar en la pel cula, estaba encantada de poder trabajar con Lin-Manuel y los cineastas. No pens demasiado en primeras veces . Mi objetivo principal era crear la mejor banda sonora posible para esta hermosa pel cula. Quer a tener xito como artista y darle a la m sica un sonido latino aut ntico. Encanto es un hito para Walt Disney Animation Studios porque es su largometraje n mero 60, as que sent que era una responsabilidad importante de
