The Grammy Award-winning Latin rock producer, songwriter, performer, film composer and Surco Records President was congratulated by BMI's Delia Orjuela and Ray Yee, who made a special visit to his studio to check out his Golden Globe trophy. He thanked Brokeback Mountain director, Ang Lee, for giving him the opportunity to create music for such a great film.
A native of Argentina, Santaolalla worked his way through the business as a performer before turning to producing with business partner Anibal Kerpel. Together, the two formed Surco Records and are responsible for some of today's most influential rock en español music, including Café Tacvba, Juanes, Molotov and Bajofondo Tango Club, among others.
