Gustavo Santaolalla: Crafting the Soundtrack of a Latino Generation
In this episode, I sit down with rock en español pioneer and legendary music producer, composer, and artist, Gustavo Santaolalla — the mastermind behind some of the most iconic Latin rock albums of all time. This two-time Oscar Award-winning composer has recently been nominated for an Emmy for his original score for HBO's "The Last of Us," which stars Pedro Pascal. Later this year, he will also receive the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In our conversation, we discuss how his 50 years of musical contributions have shaped an entire generation, why he doesn't believe in failure, and why he's betting big on fellow Argentine soccer player Lionel Messi becoming a massive role model in the US.
