His works in the world of cinema, recognized with an Oscar
Beyond the video game, Santaolalla's career is long. Soundtracks such as Babel (2006) and Brokeback Mountain (2007), both recognized with an Oscar, stand out in his curriculum. At 68, he has also been part of the so-called Latin American rock boom of the 1990s, which hardened him to face the maturity stage of his professional career.
