So a cool discovery happened over the weekend where someone on Twitter identified, 6 months later, that the music heard in the Red Dead Redemption 2 announcement trailer is actually a remixed track that Santaolalla originally did for the film, The Motorcycle Diaries, back in 2004.
Take a listen!
Gustavo Santaolalla - Apertura from The Motorcycle Diaries Original Soundtrack
Here's the RDR2 Announcement for comparison:

So now I wonder if Santaolalla worked on RDR2's score, possibly along side Bill Elm and Woody Jackson, or just contributed a theme or two? Santaolalla is returning for The Last of Us 2 but Red Dead Redemption 2 has been in development since 2013 so any work Gustavo could of done should be feasibly complete by now.
So, thoughts? Oh, bonus track where Santaolalla also provided the main theme for AMC's Western show, Hell on Wheels:
