Joaillerie

By 1998, Gustavo Santaolalla was already an iconic musician and producer in the Latin alternative rock scene. His album, Ronroco, launched his reinvention as a film composer. The song, Iguazu, was used to great effect in, The Insider.

Following 1998’s Ronroco, Camino is a collection of instrumental tunes in the World genre, that are mostly played on a ronroco (a tiny Andean guitar). Released in 2014, Camino is a beautiful record that’s perfect for meditation, yoga, and travel.

Joaillerie is indicative of Santaolalla’s composition style; a long passage of notes that crescendos and descends back to it’s tiny beginning.
