A new record from Rodrigo y Gabriela is coming. Area 52, produced by Peter Asher, comes out January 24, 2012. The release consists of nine of the duo’s own songs reconfigured, re-arranged and Cuban-ized. That is to say they are accompanied by a 13 piece Cuban orchestra. The backing musicians are from a Havana-based group called C.U.B.A. This is the first time Rodrigo y Gabriela have recorded with other musicians.
Other folks appearing on the record are notable as well; bassist Carles Benavent (Paco De Lucia, Miles Davis, Chick Corea), drummer Samuel Formell (Los Van Van), sitarist Anoushka Shankar and drummer John Tempesta (The Cult, White Zombie).
And there shall be touring in 2012.
