Oftentimes, the tensest of dramas can come with a surprising soundtrack full of unexpected hits and toe-tapping songs that are interspersed in scenes that you wouldn’t have initially expected.

That is definitely the case in Netflix’s Griselda, which tells the story of ruthless cartel leader Griselda Blanco.

The series is set against a soundtrack dotted with well-known tunes from the time period of the ’70s and ’80s, but also features plenty of disco hits, as well as Latin and Caribbean music.

Speaking about the soundtrack for the series, which stars Sofía Vergara (Modern Family) as the drug queenpin, creator and executive producer Eric Newman said: “There’s such a wealth of great music from this period, and to be period accurate in this case was pretty easy, because a lot of these songs are incredibly well-known.”

He added: “The music in Griselda is very much of a time and place that people feel like they know, whether it’s from Miami Vice, or from Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine, or more recently from Cocaine Cowboys. I’m really pleased with our score and soundtrack.”
