Disney has released a brand new preview of its Harmonious nighttime spectacular, this time featuring some of the music that will be heard in this upcoming show. As revealed previously, the theme of the show will revolve around how classic Disney music can bring people together, and to help facilitate this idea, 240 musicians, artists, composers, arrangers, cultural consultants, and vocalists collaborated on putting this show’s soundtrack together across 100 recording sessions in nine countries and five US states.
Disney has released some exciting information about some of the world-class artists and iconic Disney tunes that will be a part of this show, including the following:
- Award-winning Puerto Rican artist Luis Fonsi, responsible for several global hits including “Despacito,” joins Mexican singer-songwriter Joy for a rousing, pan-Latin version of songs from “Coco” and “Saludos Amigos.”
- A fresh and vibrant arrangement of “Dig a Little Deeper” from “The Princess and the Frog” features vocalist Bryson Camper and legendary Gospel artists Karen Clark Sheard and Kierra Sheard.
- Musical selections from “Mulan,” “The Jungle Book,” and “Aladdin” are highlighted by the vocal talents of Wang Liuqi, Hollie Hammel, Aditya Rao, Gaayatri Kaundinya, Jorgie Shkara, and Sanaa Marahati.
- The Ndlovu Youth Choir from Johannesburg contributes a medley of favorites from “The Lion King,” performed in both English and Zulu.
- A duet with French pop singer Damien Sargue, belting “Out There” from Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”.
- The music of Disney and Pixar’s “Brave” gets a Celtic kick from the dueling violins of Grammy and Emmy-nominated violinist Máiréad Nesbitt and platinum-selling electronic artist, violinist, and multi-talented entertainer Lindsey Stirling.
