Gustavo Santaolalla

Gustavo Alfredo Santaolalla is an Argentine musician, film composer and producer. He has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score in two consecutive years, for Brokeback Mountain in 2005, and Babel in 2006. Most recently, he composed the theme music for the Netflix series Making a Murderer.

Santaolalla was born in El Palomar, Argentina, and grew up during the military junta and period later known as the Dirty War. His professional music career began in 1967, when he cofounded the group Arco Iris, an Argentine band that pioneered the fusion of rock and Latin American folk as part of rock nacional. The band adopted the lifestyle of a yogic commune guided by former model Danais Winnycka and her partner, musician Ara Tokatlian. The band had a few hits, such as Maanas Campestres , and made inroads into different forms of expression , but Santaolalla felt constricted by the strict requirements of Danas teachings, which prohibited meat, alcohol and drugs. He left the group in 1975.
