Camino

The New Album by the Grammy® and Academy Award®-Winning Composer

Gustavo Santaolalla's 1997 solo instrumental album "Ronroco" was the pivotal musical catalyst that began his notoriety as one of the most sought-after composers in the film, TV and advertising worlds. CAMINO (road, path, journey in Spanish) is the long-awaited follow-up to that album a rich and beautiful instrumental journey featuring Santaolalla's unmistakable sound and song craft. The album includes 12 new tracks, along with one of the featured tracks from his recent BAFTA Games -nominated soundtrack to Sony PlayStation®'s "The Last of Us." CAMINO primarily features Santaolalla's signature playing of the ronroco (a 10-string Andean folk instrument, similar to the churranga) along with touches of the many other string instruments he has mastered such as guitar, guitarrón, oud, cuatro, toba violin & bouzouki.
