Soy Frankelda (Banda Sonora Original de la Película)
After its release to great acclaim in Latin America, the award-winning soundtrack for the Mexican animated film “Soy Frankelda”, composed by Kevin Smithers is available now worldwide on Air-Edel Records. Featuring both original songs and score, this diverse soundtrack ranges from cinematic orchestral pieces to emotional, moving vocal performances.
Kevin Smithers’ score is beautifully varied, melding musical cultures and genres to form a wonderfully well-rounded release.
“Soy Frankelda” is the first stop-motion feature film produced in Mexico. Frankelda, a frustrated young Mexican writer from the 19th century, travels as a ghost to a realm of her own invention inhabited by “Sustos”—the monstrous characters she created for her horror stories. Her guide is Herneval, the Prince of the Sustos, who enlists her help in maintaining the balance between the Realm of Fiction and the Realm of Existence using her talent as a writer.
The musical sequence for the catchy “El Príncipe de los Sustos” is a definite highlight of the film, showcasing the animators’ full artistic skill in creating a stop-motion spectacle. – Ricardo Gallegos, from La Estatuilla
