December is here at last—bringing with it the highly anticipated big-screen debut of “Mufasa: The Lion King” on Dec. 20! To celebrate, a new “Music of Mufasa” featurette is now available, and Walt Disney Records reveals its Dec. 13 release date of the songs only and deluxe versions of Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King original motion picture soundtrack. The Mufasa: The Lion King original motion picture soundtrack is available to pre-order now.
The original songs were written by Grammy®, Tony® and Emmy® Award winner and Kennedy Centre Honor® recipient Lin-Manuel Miranda, and produced by Grammy Award winner Mark Mancina and Lin-Manuel Miranda, with additional music and performances by Lebo M. Said Miranda, “’The Lion King’ has an incredible musical legacy with music from some the greatest songwriters around, and I’m humbled and proud to be a part of it. It’s been a joy working alongside Barry Jenkins to bring Mufasa’s story to life, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience this film in Cinemas.”
The album was produced by Miranda, Mancina and Grammy Award winner and Walt Disney Music President Tom MacDougall. The score, which will be included in the Deluxe version of the soundtrack, was composed by Tony Award winner and composer Dave Metzger.
Tickets are on sale now for “Mufasa: The Lion King,” which explores the unlikely rise of the beloved
king of the Pride Lands. Rafiki relays the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.
