Another cracking acoustic album

WIELDING only acoustic guitars, Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero conjure a mix of influences to create a sound that is a cross between Santana and Metallica.

On “9 Dead Alive,” Rodrigo and Gabriela’s first new album in five years, the duo strips down to return to the raw, ferocious energy that won them global acclaim after they were discovered busking in Ireland. Alone with their guitars, the couple indeed create a whole far greater than their two instruments.

Each of the album’s nine instrumentals pays tribute to “enduring touchstones” such as writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky and abolitionist Harriet Tubman.
