We Don’t Talk About Bruno from Encanto. Composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda
We Don't Talk About Bruno is a song from Disney's 2021 computer-animated musical feature film Encanto, with music and lyrics written by Lin-Manuel Miranda. It was released by Walt Disney Records as part of the film's soundtrack on November 19, 2021. The song is an ensemble number performed by some of the film's voice cast members: mainly Carolina Gaitán, Mauro Castillo, Adassa, Rhenzy Feliz, Diane Guerrero and Stephanie Beatriz, and a few others in minor roles. A viral sensation, We Don't Talk About Bruno has been described as one of the best Disney songs and the studio's biggest crossover success. Consisting of gossip and anecdotes about Mirabel Madrigal's ostracized uncle, Bruno, whose gift of seeing the future has been associated with misfortune and has left him estranged from the rest of the Madrigal family, We Don't Talk About Bruno sees some of the family members and the townsfolk explain to Mirabel why they do not talk about Bruno. The song suggests that Bruno is villainous, but sheds the narrative styles of conventional Disney villain songs by listing other characters' perspectives of the villain.
