Brazil native Rodrigo Amarante’s just-out “Drama” — his second solo album ever — is half in English and half in Portuguese, reflecting his diverse background and discography.
Amarante has had a full career in his 25-plus years as a professional musician — it has taken him from Brazil to Los Angeles, and lots of places in between.
“Drama” testifies to Amarante's different interests, ambitions and milestones.
“Tuyo,” is a Spanish-language song he wrote for the Netflix series “Narcos,” about Colombia’s drug cartels.
“I just had a script and then had to write a song for it, which is something I actually always wanted to do, you know, serve someone else's purpose and try to expand or to understand why that story is being told and what I can do to expand it. ... And so, that was in the eye of the public an important moment.”
