Soundtrack to Pedro Almodovar's "Volver"- 

Estrella Morente, chosen by director Pedro Almodovar, performs the main theme of the original soundtrack for his new movie "Volver" (featuring Penelope Cruz). Almodovar, a Spanish director who takes great care in the music of his films, wanted Morente to sing the tango (made famous by renown Argentinean singer Carlos Gardel) with Spanish influences. 

Almodovar is one of the few Spanish directors who understands the importance of a solid soundtrack in the success of a film. "In my movies, the songs are an active part of the screenplay. They form part of the dialogue and tell us a lot of things about the characters. They are not just sung because they are beautiful. I choose the music directly from the heart. These songs appear because I like them and at the same time reflect and speak about the characters".
