This heartwarming comedy-drama from Mexico stars Memo Villegas, Yalitza Aparicio, and an ensemble cast that brings charm and humor to the screen. Martin’s vibrant score adds depth to the film’s storytelling, reminiscent of Hollywood composers such as Lalo Schifrin, Henry Mancini, and Esquivel! His signature blend of rhythm, melody, and cinematic flair perfectly complements the film’s tone, making for an unforgettable auditory experience. La Gran Seducción is now streaming on Netflix.
Backstory
When producer Jim Stark (Down by Law, Mystery Train) urgently needed a composer for La Gran Seducción, Martin stepped in with just 2.5 months to deliver a full score. Working with Pimienta Films and Roma producer Nicolás Celis, he crafted an eclectic soundtrack blending orchestral textures, jazz-infused ensembles, and his signature percussion.
“It was my first comedy score,” Martin says. “Balancing humor and heart on a tight deadline pushed me to the edge—but I’m proud of the result.”
The album, La Gran Seducción, features a rich mix of orchestral, woodwinds, percussion-driven compositions, and intimate jazz-exotica inflected arrangements—some performed entirely by Martin, others featuring various ensembles from small combos to big bands orchestrated by Simon Hanes.
