With an impressive collection of accolades, including two Academy Awards, two BAFTA awards, two Grammys, an impressive 19 Latin Grammys, and even a nomination for an Emmy for his remarkable work on HBO’s “The Last of Us,” Gustavo Santaolalla’s achievements stand as a testament to his exceptional musical prowess. What makes his achievements even more astonishing is the fact that he cannot read or write music.
Adding to his list of honors, the upcoming Latin Grammys is poised to celebrate this musical virtuoso by presenting him with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Trustees Award in November. This esteemed award recognizes Santaolalla’s enduring musical legacy and pays tribute to individuals who have significantly impacted Latin music through avenues beyond performance.
The much-anticipated honor will be bestowed upon him during a private event as part of the Latin GRAMMWeek festivities, set to take place on Sunday, November 12, 2023, at the illustrious Teatro Lope de Vega in the captivating city of Sevilla, Spain.
Moreover, Santaolalla is gearing up to grace the stage at Eric Clapton’s 2023 Crossroads Festival in Los Angeles. Scheduled for September 24 at the Crypto Arena, this event brings together a constellation of past, present, and future guitar music luminaries to support the Crossroads Centre in Antigua, a vital treatment and education facility for individuals battling chemical dependencies, founded by Clapton himself.
Santaolalla’s musical prowess extends beyond the screen and stage. He composed the original score for the widely acclaimed video game “The Last of Us” and its sequel in 2020, in addition to his work on the HBO series. A potential Emmy win would elevate him to the esteemed EGOT status, joining the elite group of artists who have achieved the remarkable feat of winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.
Beyond his contributions to the world of video games and television, Santaolalla has also collaborated with renowned filmmakers like Alejandro González Iñárritu, Walter Salles, and Ang Lee, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of modern cinema.
