Roque Baños is one of the most internationally-renowned Spanish film score composers. He has written more than 60 soundtracks and, included amongst the numerous awards he has received, are three glittering Goyas. Born in Jumilla, Murcia, he began as a saxophonist in the town orchestra and is always mindful of the wind orchestra when composing his music.
