On Stranger Tides Soundtrack Feature Collaboration With Hans Zimmer and Rodrigo y Gabriela
The upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie features original music by composer Hans Zimmer and a first-time collaboration with Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela. Rodrigo y Gabriela, pictured above, have sold over two million albums worldwide.
Mitchell Leib, president of music and soundtracks for the Walt Disney Studios Motion Picture Group, said, "We'd always felt it a creative necessity that the 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' score have an original sound all its own and to distinguish itself from the first three films. With the inspiring addition of Rodrigo y Gabriela's unique artistry under the direction of maestro Hans 'Long John' Zimmer, this iconic score franchise take its next step forward with an imaginative, fresh and individual new sound."
Walt Disney Records will release the soundtrack for Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides on May 17, 2011. The movie arrives in theaters on May 20, 2011.
