Hermanos Gutiérrez: KCRW Live from HQ

Hermanos Gutiérrez, the Ecuadorian-Swiss sibling duo of Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez, unleash their instrumental Latin Western sounds at KCRW, fresh off of their Dan Auerbach-produced 2022 album El Bueno y El Malo. The desert vibes are strong in each reverb-drenched, luxuriously layered note played from their guitars, permeating the Annenberg Performance Studio like dry heat slowly rising through a cacti-crowded expanse.
The sessions features favorites from El Bueno y El Malo, including the live performance debut of “Tres Hermanos.” Between stretches of instrumental lushness, the duo opens up to Anthony Valadez about their arrangement choices, OutKast mixtapes, and which brother is the better soccer player.

[@cristinakerr2841]

This music goes straight to your soul. It's addictive.

[@the_g9456]

I only discovered Hermanos Gutiérrez about 3 months ago and now I cannot stop listening. It's so beautiful.

[@az-zd9dh]

strings wizards. creators of tears. soul catchers.❣

[@ventanacaustica]

One of the things that provokes me when I listen to the Gutierrez Brothers is that I know they are going to be with me for the rest of my life.

[@jimmysalinas4201]

Today September 02/2023, I walked into a clothing thrift store where they always play cool foreign great music. I always compliment their unique music and taste. Suddely I heard a guitar western style melancholic style tune, I asked the owner of what radio station he uses, he said was a playlist he created from Spotify.He showed me on his phone the name Hermanos Gutierrez. When I Came home, I remembered and searched on KZbin for hermanos Gutierrez and I struck a Gold Mine. I can only say that I imagine riding a horse galloping parallel to the sandy sea shore or western canyons, all by myself , my soul, and my horse in some western part of the US.

[@christinewittenburg1709]

Interviewer asks too many questions and breaks up the flow

[@hubertsumlin9697]

[@RobertSlover]

interesting tunes , but they need a third player for the lead voice.

[@ElixerS5]

No, not all music needs voice. The beauty of two guitars together is it’s own thing!

[@RobertSlover]

@@ElixerS5 "voice" in a music theory vocabulary. keep learning kid!

[@sagat666]

I think this a touch overrated, but, BAR TURNE by the JAZZBOIS, that certainly isnt***
