He has won two Academy Awards for Best Original Score in two... consecutive years, for Brokeback Mountain in 2005 and Babel in 2006. Santaolalla was born in El Palomar, Argentina. His professional music career began in 1967, when he co-founded the group Arco Iris, an Argentine band that pioneered the fusion of rock and Latin American folk as part of 'rock nacional'. The band adopted the lifestyle of a yogic commune guided by former model Danais Wynnycka and her partner, musician Ara Tokatlian. The band had a few hits, such as Mañanas Campestres , and made inroads into different forms of expression , but Santaolalla felt constricted by the strict requirements of Dana's teachings, which prohibited meat, alcohol and drugs. He left the group in 1975. A year later, he assembled Soluna, in which he played alongside teenage pianist and singer Alejandro Lerner and his then-girlfriend Monica Campins. Together they recorded just one album .
