One Piece Stars Infuse Cultural Rhythm into Character Soundtracks Actors Iñaki Godoy and Taz Skylar, who portray Luffy and Sanji in Netflix’s live-action One Piece adaptation, shared their vision for the musical tastes of their characters during an exclusive interview. Their insights blend cultural heritage with the adventurous spirit of the series, offering fans a deeper connection to the characters through music. Godoy, playing Luffy, imagined his character’s playlist as a celebration of vibrant, upbeat Latin music. He emphasized that Luffy, the cheerful pirate, would gravitate toward traditional mariachi and wedding tunes rather than melancholic ballads. “I think Luffy would vibe with mariachis and stuff like that,” Godoy explained, noting that the character’s love for communal celebrations and dancing aligns with the lively energy of these genres. He highlighted songs like “El mariachi loco quiere bailar” and “Ya llego Sergio el Bailador” as fitting for Luffy’s personality. Skylar, portraying Sanji, suggested his character would embrace Cuban salsa, citing artist Fresto’s track “Me Hace Daño Verte” as a perfect match. He described the song as embodying the tropical rhythms Sanji would appreciate, calling it “¡Un temazo!”—a Spanish phrase meaning “what a great song!” Skylar’s enthusiasm underscored how Sanji’s refined yet adventurous nature would resonate with the energetic and culturally rich sounds of salsa. Beyond their on-screen roles, the actors shared how they engage with the One Piece fandom off-screen. Godoy recently participated in Mexican lucha libre events and fan gatherings centered around the series, while both actors contributed to promotional activities for the World Baseball Classic in Japan.#world_baseball_classic #netflix #one_piece #taz_skylar #iaki_godoy
Exclusive: ‘One Piece’ Stars Iñaki Godoy & Taz Skylar Build Luffy & Sanji’s Latine Playlists Netflix’s One Piece cast members, Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy and Spanish-British actor Taz Skylar, shared their insights on the musical tastes of their characters, Monkey D. Luffy and Sanji, in an exclusive interview with Remezcla. The actors, who are promoting the upcoming season of the series, discussed which Latin artists their characters would likely enjoy, offering a playful take on the personalities of the iconic anime characters. Godoy, who portrays Luffy, suggested that his character would gravitate toward upbeat, festive music rather than melancholic or romantic tracks. “I think Luffy would vibe with mariachis and stuff like that,” he explained. “He likes the instruments and the sounds of it. I don’t think he would like stuff like José José because it’s too sad for him. He’d probably prefer uplifting music about partying.” Skylar, who plays Sanji, added that his character would lean into tropical and danceable sounds. He mentioned Cuban salsa musician Fresto as a potential favorite, citing the track “Me Hace Daño Verte” as a fitting example of Sanji’s musical preferences. “¡Un temazo! [What a song!]” Skylar exclaimed, highlighting the vibrant, energetic vibe that aligns with Sanji’s personality. The actors’ insights came during a live interview at Netflix’s studios in Hollywood, where they discussed their characters’ perspectives on music. The conversation was part of a broader promotional push for One Piece: Into the Grand Line, which is now available on Netflix. Beyond the music discussion, Godoy and Skylar have been actively engaging with fans through a variety of events. Last month, Godoy participated in Mexican lucha libre and spent a day of One Piece-themed activities with fans in Mexico City.#netflix #one_piece #taz_skylar #iaki_godoy #remezcla
