Ludwig Göransson.

Sinners composer Ludwig Göransson has discussed the lengths he went to in order to put the film's score together, revealing he scoured the globe to get hold of three 1932 Dobro resonator guitars for the job.

The Ryan Coogler-directed film is set in that same year of 1932, deep in the Mississippi Delta, and, naturally, the region’s deep-rooted connection with the blues plays a crucial role in the story.
