There are 8 original songs in the film Encanto. They were written by Lin-Manuel Miranda for Disney’s 2021 animated musical and appear alongside Germaine Franco’s instrumental score.
The songs include “The Family Madrigal,” “Waiting on a Miracle,” “Surface Pressure,” “We Don’t Talk About Bruno,” “What Else Can I Do?,” “Dos Oruguitas,” “All of You,” and “Colombia, Mi Encanto.” The soundtrack also contains score pieces and alternate-language or instrumental tracks, which can make the total number of listed tracks much larger than eight.
Miranda began writing the music during the film’s early development, and the filmmakers researched Colombian musical traditions during a 2018 trip to the country. The soundtrack blends styles including vallenato, cumbia, salsa, bambuco, reggaeton, tango, folk, hip-hop, and musical theatre.
A common mix-up is counting every track on the soundtrack album rather than only the original songs. The album includes 27 score compositions in addition to the eight songs. “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” later became the film’s breakout hit, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100.
