Gustavo Santaolalla

I don't know how Gustavo Santaolalla came into my life but he has become my stand-by for Latin classical guitar (okay, the only name I know in classical guitar). His work is featured on The Motorcycle Diaries, the song that plays during the DVD menu (and, obviously, during the film). His melodies are complex and intriguing and oddly relaxing. I recommended the CD Ron Roco and for anyone in the class, I'd be happy to loan it out.

Here is an article about him from Time magazine.
