Gustavo Santaolalla joins host Raina Douris

Gustavo Santaolalla has won a lot of awards for his magnificent scores for films like Brokeback Mountain, The Motorcycle Diaries and Babel. This year, the Argentine composer and producer is nominated for an Emmy for his score for the TV adaption of The Last of Us video game. On the next World Cafe, Gustavo walks us through the story of his life—from receiving his first guitar at five years old to the moment he accepted his Academy Award. It’s Gustavo Santaolalla.
