MY OWN DRUM: So, Gabi is the brainchild of Quiara Hudes, who based the character on her sister Gabi. It needed to sound AS different from Vivo & Andres as possible. I was inspired by @MissyElliott, one of the the most idiosyncratic and brilliant artists making music... — PolitiTweet.org

One more thing: I just love how the filmmakers animated everyone singing "One more song one more song" around Vivo, gives me chills. #VivoMusicDeepDive — PolitiTweet.org

Took the best parts of both those songs to help create One More Song. Also the crowd/no crying allowed/proud run at the end was inspired by this song I wrote when I was 18: https://t.co/Rij3sUgGrE — PolitiTweet.org

The other was a tune called Brand New Song from the end of the movie. It was Kirk DeMicco's favorite, and I had to talk him into cutting it. Because once he's completed the mission, we the audience are ready to keep going. But the first two lines were... — PolitiTweet.org

ONE MORE SONG: so the ghosts of 2 early songs that are NOT in the movie haunt the whole thing. One was called Old Friend, and Vivo sang it while tucking Andres in. It was very sweet, and the opening riff of it survives as the organ melody at the top of this tune. — PolitiTweet.org

3) @GloriaEstefan, Gloria Estefan, Gloria Estefan. The last verse of this song was originally all Andrés, but by making it a duet between Marta and Andres, and the gorgeous music we make, now we HEAR a love story worth fighting for. #VivoMusicDeepDive More later! -LMM https://t.co/vJNZWYkvWB — PolitiTweet.org

Three things launched this tune into orbit: 1) Juan De Marcos, who brings SO much life and authenticity to this music. 2)The idea of going full 2-D Cuban album art fantasy, facilitating @LacketyLac's incredible trumpet transition to the nightclub as I yell "WHAT IS HAPPENING..." — PolitiTweet.org

2) Mambo Cabana! This song originally stayed in this dimension. It used to be Andrés excited to go, and his friend Montoya telling him to stay home. Somewhere on a hard drive from 2010, I have a demo of my Heights pals @EliseoNY as Andrés and @JMunozActor as Montoya... — PolitiTweet.org

Welp, back to work. I'll add to the thread when I have more time. Grateful for you! -LMM — PolitiTweet.org

was the flashback verse, freely cannibalizing Kirk's wonderful scenes where they first meet as concisely as possible. And today I learned it sounds DELIGHTful in German, thank you @netflix! #VivoMusicDeepDive -LMM https://t.co/toq3HkLRVs — PolitiTweet.org

Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel

So this was always our opener, and didn't really change too much, except two things were true: We really wanted to start the movie IN song, but ALSO wanted to know how Andrés and Vivo met. And that wasn't built into the song. So the last thing I added... #VivoMusicDeepDive — PolitiTweet.org

Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel

Vivo's first two lines were originally: "Tough crowd, nothing I haven't seen before, I'll have to pull out the stops & give them even more-" which are now in the reprise. I was also playing Usnavi 8 shows a week at the time, so this is semi-autobiographical... #VivoMusicDeepDive — PolitiTweet.org

Lin-Manuel Miranda @Lin_Manuel

Started writing One Of A Kind in 2009, and the dare to myself was simple: Start with the simplest rhythm in the world, and just keep building. Organ plays 2 chords, oompah oompah, and take off from there. #VivoMusicDeepDive — PolitiTweet.org
