Original score by Mateus Alves and Tomaz Alves Souza expands Kleber Mendonça Filho's award-season momentum
The Secret Agent, the feature film written and directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, arrives at the Academy Awards with four Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor for Wagner Moura. The film's original soundtrack will be distributed worldwide by Manhã do Gato/Lakeshore via ONErpm, bringing the score to streaming platforms across global markets.
The music was written and produced by Mateus Alves and Tomaz Alves Souza, with additional themes by Piero Bianchi. The project continues the composers' long-running collaboration with Mendonça, following their acclaimed work on Bacurau, Aquarius, Neighbouring Sounds, and Retratos Fantasmas. Their scores blend tension, atmosphere, and regional textures, creating a cinematic sound that feels both intimate and expansive.
For The Secret Agent, the duo delivers a focused, emotionally charged score that deepens the film's narrative impact. Strings, brass, and electronic processing work together to heighten suspense and anchor the story in Brazil's cultural landscape. The result supports the film's tone while standing strong as a standalone listening experience.
With ONErpm leading global distribution, the soundtrack reaches audiences beyond the screen. The release connects international listeners with one of Brazil's most celebrated filmmaking teams and reinforces the growing role of independent music partners in film and television.
