Arturo Márquez is best known globally for his Danzones , particularly Danzón No. 2 , which has become an unofficial second national anthem for Mexico. His music is defined by its fusion of urban sounds, ballroom dance rhythms, and formal orchestral structures. The irony of his name appearing in a gritty crime thriller about hidden identities is palpable.
