Tuyo (which means Yours) is a simmering declaration of devotion where the singer becomes every element a lover could crave. In just a few lines he turns into fire that warms the skin, water that quenches thirst, a protective castle and tower, and even the sword that defends hidden treasure. Each image paints an all-encompassing passion: he wants to be the breath his partner inhales and the moonlight that guides them across the sea.
Beneath the romantic glow lies a hint of danger. The same mouth he longs to kiss could drown in overwhelming love, and the gift of treasure comes with the question “¿Cuáles deseos me vas a dar?” Will desire be generous or greedy? This tension makes the song perfect for the world of Narcos, yet on its own it remains a poetic vow of surrender. By the end, one truth rings out: everything he is, from spark to sword, is tuyo – entirely yours.
Rodrigo Amarante de Castro Neves (born September 6, 1976, in Rio de Janeiro) is a Brazilian singer‑songwriter, multi‑instrumentalist, composer, and arranger known for his warm, evocative voice and richly textured compositions.
Beginning his career with the beloved Brazilian rock band Los Hermanos, Amarante emerged as a leading creative force, contributing standout songs across albums such as Bloco do Eu Sozinho and Ventura. He also co-founded the samba‑big‑band Orquestra Imperial and the L.A.‑based supergroup Little Joy, blending Brazilian rhythms with indie and folk sensibilities.
In 2013, Amarante released his debut solo album Cavalo, widely acclaimed for its lyrical intimacy and musical subtlety. He gained global recognition for writing and performing the haunting bolero “Tuyo,” the theme song for Netflix’s Narcos, which earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination. His second solo album, Drama (2021), further explores cinematic textures and emotional depth with rich orchestrations and rhythmic innovation.
