Greg Porée, one of the guitarists for the orchestra, was stumped (yes, even in Los Angeles) when it came to finding the right guitar for the nominated song from the animated movie Coco: "The Mexican vihuela, I believe it started in the 1800s, and it became very popular in mariachi bands because it's very loud and it's almost a percussive type of instrument where you strum it. It speaks very loudly. It cuts through all the singing and cuts through all the playing." (Spoiler alert: He found one.)
