Editor's note

The Brazilian voice cast for Disney's Lion King remake

A 2019 Portuguese-language soundtrack featuring actors like Igor Rickli and Fábio Porchat.

If you want to hear what made this version click, start with their take on 'Hakuna Matata.' The Portuguese 'We Are One' shows how they handled the film's bigger moments too.

This wasn't just another translation job. The group's version of 'Hakuna Matata' caught on in Brazil because it kept the original's playful energy while feeling genuinely local. Their recordings gave Brazilian audiences a soundtrack that worked in their own language, with actors who brought Simba and Timão to life in Portuguese.

The project was assembled specifically for the 2019 live-action remake's Brazilian release. They recorded the Portuguese soundtrack, including songs like 'Upendi' and 'Circle of Life/Nants' Ingonyama,' then essentially wrapped up when the film came out.

Background notes

Archive material and source history

O Rei Leão was a Brazilian group assembled in 2019 to record the Portuguese-language soundtrack for Disney's live-action remake of The Lion King. The cast included actors like Igor Rickli as Simba and Fábio Porchat as Timão, performing songs from the film in Portuguese. Their version of 'Hakuna Matata' became particularly popular in Brazil, capturing the playful spirit of the original while adapting it for local audiences.

Their work was essentially a single soundtrack project, featuring Portuguese adaptations of songs like 'Can You Feel The Love Tonight' and 'Spirit' alongside 'Hakuna Matata.' The group's purpose was specific to that film release, and they didn't continue as a band beyond that recording. The soundtrack included both well-known numbers and some deeper cuts from the film's score.

While some listeners debated the Portuguese translations, the soundtrack found its audience among Brazilian fans of the film. The recordings stand as a localized version of the musical material, with the actors bringing the characters to life in Portuguese. It was a straightforward adaptation job done for a particular Disney release in 2019.
