Moana is the soundtrack album to the 2016 Disney animated feature film of the same name. It was released by Walt Disney Records on November 18, 2016.
Background[]
For the soundtrack, Disney wanted to combine traditional South Pacific culture with pop and Broadway sensibilities. This led to the hiring of Broadway playwright, songwriter, and composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, composer Mark Mancina, and Tokelauan singer-songwriter Opetaia Foa'i. The trio worked together in New Zealand and in Los Angeles. The soundtrack contains seven original songs: "Where You Are", "How Far I'll Go", "We Know the Way", "You're Welcome", "Shiny", "I Am Moana (Song of the Ancestors)", and "Know Who You Are".
The remaining tracks are traditional Polynesian songs and chants performed in the film by the character Maui. The soundtrack includes songs like "Tulou Tagaloa", "An Innocent Warrior", "Logo Te Pate", and "Warrior Face". Mancina composed the score and produced both the score and the songs. In addition to guitars and strings, the score features Polynesian vocals and percussion, woodwinds made from bamboo from the South Pacific, and traditional hide-covered Tyka drums.
