Luis Enríquez Bacalov was an Argentine film composer and musical director. He learned music from Enrique Barenboim, father of Daniel Barenboim - conductor of the Berlin and Chicago orchestras, and from Berta Sujovolsky. He ventured into music for the cinema, and composed now-classic scores for many Spaghetti Western films. In the early 1970s he also collaborated with Italian progressive rock band New Trolls. Bacalov was nominated twice for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, winning it in 1996 for Il Postino.
