Our latest guests on Soundtracking are Barry Jenkins and Lin Manuel Miranda, who join us to discuss their work on Mufasa, which serves as both a sequel and a prequel to the 2019 remake of the 1994 classic. Set after the events of the original, it sees Rifiki the Mandril recount Mufasa's origin story to Simba's daughter Kiara, with a little help from Timon and Pumbaa. We follow a young orphaned Mufasa as he befriends the prince Taka and is adopted by Taka's family.
