Barroz is the soundtrack album to the 2024 Malayalam-language epic children's fantasy film of the same name directed by Mohanlal in his directorial debut, who also starred in the titular character. The film's soundtrack consisted of five original songs in both Malayalam and Portuguese languages. Lydian Nadhaswaram (in his film music debut) composed three songs with the lyrics written by Vinayak Sasikumar, Lakshmi Sreekumar and Krishnadas Panki, with Fernando Boto de Jesus Guerreiro and Miguel Jorge Guerreiro composed music and lyrics for the fado songs. The soundtrack was released under the Sony Music India label on 20 December 2024.
Development
[edit]During the film's pre-production in 2019, Mohanlal hired 13-year-old Chennai-based multi-instrumentalist Lydian Nadhaswaram for composing the film's music,[1] a child prodigy who won the CBS reality talent show The World's Best that year.[2][3] His involvement was confirmed in September 2019, at an event to felicitate the success of Mohanlal's Odiyan (2018) and Lucifer (2019), where Mohanlal launched the film officially and invited him as a part of the technical crew.[4][5] In February 2023, Mohanlal took to social media to announce that South African composer Mark Kilian, known for his work in Hollywood films, has been brought on board to compose the musical score.[6]
Nadashwaram started composing the film's music in early 2020.[7] In February 2024, he started recording the orchestral portions at the Fames Project in Skojpe, North Macedonia,[8] which was performed by Fames Project Studio Orchestra conducted by Andrew T. Mackay.[9][10] On 15 March 2024, Mohanlal paid a surprise visit to Amly Studios in Chennai, where the film's song recording happened.[11][12]
The lyrics were provided by Vinayak Sasikumar, Lakshmi Sreekumar, and Krishnadas Panki.[13] The film also featured the Portuguese fado songs which were composed and co-written by Fernando Boto de Jesus Guerreiro and Miguel Jorge Guerreiro.[13] Mohanlal stated that as the story had a Portuguese connection, he composed the melancholic folk numbers which are related to ocean.[14]
Release
[edit]The audio rights were acquired by Sony Music India.[15] On 13 December 2024, the first song "Isabella" was released as a single with vocals by Mohanlal.[16] Unlike a lyrical video, the song was released in the behind-the-scenes format which included the recording of the vocals by Mohanlal, and composition of the orchestral portions.[16][17] The Hindi version of the song was performed by Shaan.[18] The soundtrack was released under the Sony Music India on 20 December.[19]
