a latin american composer

In this opportunity I tell you about a great composer.

He is Gustavo Santaolalla 



He is a musician and music producer Argentinian, composer of a lot of music for films, and even music for video games. He won in two occasions the Academy Awards, the Oscars, for Best Original Score, with the films Babel and Brokeback Mountain. His first great award was with the Diarios de Motocicleta's music in the British Academy Film Awards during the year 2005. Besides, he has been nominated and awarded in many others films: Amores Perros, Biutiful, Relatos Salvajes and others. As if that were not enough, he had he did the music for an amazing game of Playstation called Last of Us and he produced the album "Corazones" of the Chilean musical group Los Prisioneros.

I consider him a great composer not only because his music is exciting, but because it always includes some Latin American identity in his art. For example, he generally includes Latin American instruments like the charango or ronroco for many of the songs that made for famous films. Have that authenticity and be recognized internationally is striking.
