Early life and work


Mendoza-Nava was born in La Paz, Bolivia. He studied at The Juilliard School and Madrid Royal Conservatory, the Sorbonne, and with Nadia Boulanger. He won the Madrid Conservatory's First Prize in 1950, completing the five-year program in a year's time. Eventually, he was on the staff of Walt Disney Studios and his works were recorded by MGM Records.

Much of his music is inspired by the pentatonic music of the Andes.

In Hollywood, he also had several credits as a sound editor.

He died in Los Angeles, California, on May 31, 2005.

Mendoza-Nava's grandson, Nic Mendoza (born April 4, 1989), is a music and multimedia producer.[1] Nic is the founder of his production entity, Uprise LLC, and co-founder of a production company and record imprint, Encore Endeavor One (EE1).
