Folks, the new Pirates movie, Pirates of the Caribbean – On Stranger Tides, is nigh upon us.
The fourth installment in the popular Pirates franchise releases on May 20, 2011 in the U.S. and Canada.
And just three days before the movie hits the screens across the U.S., the much anticipated soundtrack will debut.

Hans Zimmer at the Musical Helm
Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globes winner Hans Zimmer (“Inception,” “The Lion King,” “Sherlock Holmes,” “Gladiator,” “The Thin Red Line,” “Rain Man,” “As Good as It Gets,” “The Preacher’s Wife,” and “The Prince of Egypt.”), composer for the three previous Pirates of the Caribbean films, has again captained the musical ship.
Given the Latin flavor of the movie (remember Penelope Cruz plays Angelica, a Spaniard), Hans Zimmer has collaborated with guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela for the soundtrack, which also features performances by legendary trumpet-player Arturo Sandoval.
The soundtrack album is also supposed to showcase songs re-mixed by top DJs (including Adam Freeland, Photek, and Static Revenger).
