Music reviews of 11:11
Music Review: Rodrigo y Gabriela add new depth to duo guitar tradition.
Rating: 4 Stars
Rodrigo y Gabriela's newest CD, 11:11, refers to the synchronicity inherent in the numerological value of those four singular digits, a paean to rebirth and harmony. Certainly, it is no coincidence that these two life partners have found each other, and together have forged an alliance that brings forth the memories of other renowned guitar duos, from the great Flamenco pairing of Sabicas and Escudero, to the historic partnership of Strunz and Farah (who appear along with Rodgab on the Paco De Lucia homage "Master Maqui"), as well as the classical siblings Sergio and Odair Assad. Rodrigo y Gabriela has emerged as an essential meeting of musical minds and share in the historical immediacy of this vital tradition in guitar.
The album itself is a kind of living evocation to the greats of the guitar world that have helped shape and influence these two kindred souls. Hanuman, dedicated to Carlos Santana, is a natural first track. Both players hail from Mexico, the CD itself recorded in Ixtapa, and Santana one of the world's most influential guitarists whose soul may be Rock, but whose roots are Latin American. Buster Voodoo, dedicated to Jimi Hendrix, wah wahs its way through their acoustic guitars and vibrates with Jimi's cool. Triveni, is dedicated to Israeli Oud three-piece Le Trio Joubran, of who I am not familiar, but pulsates with the mystery of the sacred land. Logos, a gorgeous arpeggiated interlude in honor of the great Al Dimeola, captures the mystery and sweetness of Al's playing. Santo Domingo, dedicated to Cuban piano genius Michel Camilo, shows Rodgab's Caribbean flair. But it is on Master Maqui that the real genius of the album resides, in a quartet with overdubs dedicated to the penultimate acoustic guitarist, Flamenco giant Paco De Lucia. Joining the duo are their spiritual mentors, Strunz and Farah, in a scintillating interplay of rhythm, sustained as always remarkably by Gabriella Quintana. An Argentine Chacarera rhythm is whimsically feted, with the inestimable and head shaking scales of both Ardeshir and, as always, the greatest of all scale players, Jorge Strunz providing support to their young compatriots. The rest of the CD is remarkable for its imagination, energy and beauty, particularly Atman, a Middle Eastern dirge, hypnotic in mystery and essence.
Rodrigo y Gabriela is the most recent stop for the spirit of the guitar duo, a very vibrant and fulfilling place to be sure.
Description of 11:11
The long awaited follow up to their 2006 self-titled debut, which has enjoyed worldwide sales in excess of half a million albums.Includes Bonus DVD with tutorials, exclusive interviews, & live concert footage !
11:11 was recorded in Ixtapa, Mexico and produced by Rodrigo y Gabriela, with John Leckie co-producing one of the tracks. The album was mixed in Wales and London by Colin Richardson, best known for his work with Slipknot and Trivium.
Comprising 11 new original compositions, 11:11 is the band s personal Gracias to 11 musicians, both past and present, who have inspired them along the way. Alex Skolnick of metal gods Testament guests on the album, as do widely respected acoustic veterans Strunz & Farah.
If their self-titled debut was a successful attempt at capturing the unbridled dynamic energy of their incendiary gigs (mostly recorded live in the studio, with very few overdubs); then the new album sees them developing their core sound into something more sophisticated, intricate and varied. At the heart of the sound is still the stunning interplay between Rodrigo s dazzling lead work and Gabriela s unique rhythm play; but the base soundscape is now subtly supplemented by percussion, occasional piano and a fresh arsenal of stringed instruments from around the world, including oud and sitar. And - whisper it quietly the introduction here and there of electric guitar.
