Part of what makes The Mandalorian such an amazing series is the music that makes. The music is such a big part of the storytelling. And recently Walt Disney Records has released the digital soundtrack from Season 2 of The Mandalorian. It features a score by Oscar®, Grammy®, and Emmy® winning composer Ludwig Göransson.

Earlier this year, Göransson won his first Emmy for The Mandalorian “Chapter 8: Redemption” in the Outstanding Music Composition For A Series (Original Dramatic Score) category. For the first season of “The Mandalorian,” Göranssonreleased eight full-length albums, one album per episode, with recurring themes throughout the season. This season, he will release the soundtrack in two volumes containing new musical themes, sounds, and ideas.
Ludwig Göransson
In a career spanning only 12 years, Ludwig Göransson has amassed an impressive resume in both the recording and motion picture industries, earning an Academy Award, an Emmy Award, multiple Grammy Awards, and countless other nominations. After working as an assistant to composer Theodore Shapiro, Göransson got his first big break writing music for the NBC television series, Community. This led to a friendship and collaboration with Donald Glover, who performs under the stage name Childish Gambino, on several studio albums including Because the Internet and Awaken, My Love. Göransson has been nominated for six Grammys with Childish Gambino and won two in 2019 for the Billboard Hot 100 Number One hit song “This Is America,” which became a cultural phenomenon and garnered worldwide acclaim.
Much like iconic filmmaking duos Hitchcock and Herrmann or Spielberg and Williams, Coogler’s diverse filmography has allowed Göransson to show his range as a composer, writing understated melodies for Fruitvale Station, hyping up audiences for Creed, and infusing African percussion into his themes for Black Panther.
Göransson has accumulated success in a variety of other films including the box office smash Venom and Pixar’s Inner Workings. Göransson earned multiple awards and nominations for his score for Black Panther. He won two Grammy Awards for his song “This is America”. A song which he co-wrote and co-produced with frequent collaborator Childish Gambino.
