Babel Soundtrack To Resonate With World Music
Composer Gustavo Santaolalla scores Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film.
by IGN Music
November 1, 2006 - The soundtrack to Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film Babel will be released by Concord Records on November 21st, 2006.
The music from the film was composed by Argentinean musician Gustavo Santaolalla, who has worked with Iñárritu on his two previous films 21 Grams
and Amores Perros.
To give the music for Babel an authentic Middle Eastern feel, Santaolalla taught himself to play the oud, an Arab lute with a distinct, percussive
sound. His work for the soundtrack album includes solo oud meditations, folkloric recordings of the Gnawa brotherhoods of Morocco and orchestrated
pieces that combine electronic percussion with the sounds of classical Arab music.
In addition to Santaolalla's music, the soundtrack also features Japanese musician, producer and DJ Shinichi Osawa and musician, producer
Cornelius.
Furthermore Iñárritu worked closely with Santaolalla, Anibal Kerpel (Composer and Music Editor) and Lynn Fainchtein (Music Supervisor) to capture
the traditional sounds of both Marrakech and Tijuana via the music Gnawa and other traditional Arab musicians in Morocco and various Norteño sounds
from Mexico.
