There are two kinds of people in this world: those who have ‘We Don’t Talk About Bruno’ stuck in their head, and those who don’t … yet. The Disney song is a viral sensation and unexpected hit from the 2021 film Encanto. Michael Birenbaum Quintero is an ethnomusicologist and Associate Professor at Boston University.
