Rodrigo Amarante de Castro Neves (born 6 September 1976) is a Brazilian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger. He is part of the bands Los Hermanos, Orquestra Imperial, and Little Joy, and released his first solo record, Cavalo, in Brazil in late 2013 and worldwide in May 2014. He also wrote and performed the (bolero style) narcocorrido “Tuyo“, the theme song for the Netflix Original Series Narcos (2015) and Narcos: Mexico (2018), and wrote the score for the film Entebbe (2018).
In 2014, Amarante released his first solo album, Cavalo, one of the first releases on the Easy Sounds Recording Company label.[1] The album received strong critical reviews[2][3][4] and featured as one of NPR Music’s “50 Favourite Songs of 2014 So Far”.[5] He performed the album on tour in nearly 30 different countries.[citation needed]
In 2015, Amarante wrote and vocalized the Spanish-language song, “Tuyo“(“Yours”), as the opening theme for the Netflix Original series Narcos. He was inspired by the thought of what kind of music Pablo Escobar’s mother would have listened to when raising her son.[6] The song debuted at No. 6 on the Latin Pop Digital Songs around the 2015 series premiere[7] and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Main Title Theme Music.
