Which composer worked on Narcos: Mexico with Gustavo Santaolalla?

Kevin Kiner worked on Narcos: Mexico with Gustavo Santaolalla.

Kiner and Santaolalla are credited as composers for the series, contributing to its musical identity as the story moves through the origins and expansion of Mexico’s organized drug trade. Their work helps give Narcos: Mexico a tense, atmospheric sound that supports both cartel power struggles and law-enforcement storylines.

Gustavo Santaolalla is an Argentine composer, musician, and producer known for film and television scores as well as his work in rock and Latin music. Kevin Kiner is an American composer whose television credits include long-running dramatic and action-oriented productions. Their collaboration connected Santaolalla’s distinctive Latin American musical sensibility with Kiner’s extensive scoring experience.

The show’s theme music is a separate credit: “Tuyo,” performed and written by Rodrigo Amarante. That distinction causes a frequent mix-up. Amarante is associated with the opening theme, while Kiner and Santaolalla are credited as the series’ composers. Carlo Bernard is a creator and producer, not the composer named in the question, and Pedro Bromfman is not the credited answer for this series.
