Gustavo Santaolalla's solo instrumental album Ronroco was a game-changer for the visionary artist when it was released in 1998. Camino, released by Sony Music Masterworks is the long-awaited follow up to that album – a rich, beautifully crafted instrumental journey illuminating Santaolalla's unmistakable sound. Camino again features the Grammy® and Academy Award®-winning composer playing the ronroco, his signature 10-string Andean folk instrument similar to the charango, as well as other instruments that he has mastered including the guitar, guitarron, oud, cuatro, toba violin, and bouzouki. The album includes 12 new tracks, along with one of the featured tracks from Santaolalla's recent BAFTA Games-nominated soundtrack to Sony PlayStation's The Last of Us.

  • Gustavo Santaolalla discusses a wide array of musical pursuits with NPR - Alt.Latino
    Posted At: February 5, 2021 12:00 AM

    NPR - Alt.Latino host FELIX CONTRERAS writes....Duke Ellington's highest compliment for musicians whom he admired was to call them "beyond category." Gustavo Santaolalla clearly falls into this description. Honestly, we could do one show per day, for a whole week, and still not cover the creative output of this week's guest. Santaolalla's work goes all the way back to the late '60s as a m...

    Posted At: March 20, 2020 12:00 AM

    The Let's face it, despite some inherent mishaps – I'm looking at you microtransactions – the 2010s gave birth to some exceptional games. Nay, incredible games. In fact, some of my favourite games of all time have only existed in the last decade, and on their shoulders have stood some mind-blowing soundtracks. If you're bunkering in, self-isolating, or just gaming for the hell of it, we got y...

The Last of Us Part 2 deserves every bit of hype it receives, even if most of them are indeed rumors, due to the unprecedented fact that we just can't wai...

  • Gustavo Santaolalla - Camino / Audiophile Audition review
    Posted At: November 12, 2014 12:00 AM

    I am not at all sure this is a "classical" CD but nor is it "popular music."  Like most of Argentina native Gustavo Santaolalla's music, this solo set falls in a lovely but hard to describe middle ground. In fact, I am not sure too many American listeners are familiar with him at all except, perhaps, for his film scores. In fact, that is the portion of Santaolalla's output I am most familiar wit...

    Posted At: July 30, 2014 12:00 AM

    Ronroco was Argentinian composer Gustavo Santaolalla's last instrumental solo album, back in 1998. And although Ronroco was critically acclaimed, Santaolalla didn't want to rush the process of making the next one. He let the music come to him piece by piece over the years until he felt that he was prepared to record an album. Camino turned out to be that album, and it's a very personal one. For people fa...
