Los Ojos del Cóndor [CD]

There is hardly a project that has revolutionized the world of instrumental music as lastingly as the Hermanos Gutiérrez. With their meditative signature sound, the brothers Alejandro and Estevan have gained a loyal global fan base. But while their previous successful albums took us through the canyons of the American West, the duo are opening a fascinating new chapter with "Los Ojos del Cóndor".

This time, the brothers leave the desert heat behind and travel to where their family roots lie: the mysterious coastal fog of Lima, Peru. For this musical evolution, they are once again relying on a proven recipe for success: this is their third collaboration with Black Keys frontman and Grammy winner Dan Auerbach, who produced the album for his cult label Easy Eye Sound. Under Auerbach's direction, a lush musical odyssey has been created that swaps the vastness of the prairie for the hypnotic rhythms of South America.
