Get ready to be swept off your feet by the magic of Disney music! The latest episode of Walt Disney Imagineering’s YouTube series, *We Call It Imagineering*, is here, and this one is sure to hit all the right notes. This enchanting series pulls back the curtain on the wizards behind the scenes—those ingenious Disney Imagineers—who meld creativity and technology to craft the experiences we cherish.
In its second episode, the series dives into the melodic heart of Disney, revealing the intricate process behind creating the music that brings Disney attractions to life. One of the dazzling highlights? A first-look reveal at the finale of the eagerly awaited Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. But that’s not all—fans also get a sneak peek at new tunes crafted for the beloved Country Bear Musical Jamboree. It’s like a backstage pass to the magic!
The soundtrack for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is particularly special, boasting collaborations with Grammy® winners PJ Morton and Terence Blanchard. Both artists have deep roots in New Orleans’ vibrant music scene, perfectly capturing the soul of the city. Blanchard, who played a memorable role in Disney’s *The Princess and the Frog*, shared his hopes for the music: “We really wanted to showcase New Orleans music, give people who are going to be in the queue line an experience of being in New Orleans… It will hopefully create a lasting memory and a relationship with the city.”
Adding to this musical feast, PJ Morton has penned an entirely original song for the attraction, titled “Special Spice.” Sung by none other than Anika Noni Rose, the original voice of Princess Tiana, the track is a lyrical love letter to New Orleans that promises to become a new favorite. Good news for music lovers—the full version drops on streaming platforms this Friday, May 31!
Disney’s legacy of intertwining music with its attractions traces back to legendary songwriters like the Sherman Brothers, whose timeless classics like “The Tiki, Tiki, Tiki Room” and “It’s A Small World (After All)” have delighted generations. Their work laid the foundation for the musical journeys that continue to enchant Disney fanatics worldwide.
