Rodrigo y Gabriela New Album 《11:11》－scottbaken的部落格

新專輯的幕後花絮

這對發跡自柏林的墨西哥男女吉他雙人組

由Garbriela 負責節奏與伴奏組 (很酷耶,欣賞他豪爽的彈吉他方式)

而Rodrigo 則負責solo guitar 與旋律和聲的部分 , 自從剪短髮後正式進軍樂壇偶像界(誤!!)

在愛爾蘭透過Damien Rice 的引薦而正式登上了大舞台 , 也順利得以錄製創作專輯至今　

關於他們的成長故事也是頗為曲折 ,有空的可以看個簡單的介紹

一開始聽到他們來自於好幾年前他們所改編的 stairway to heaven

西班牙吉他的演奏彈法讓人耳目一新也讓這首歌有了不同的風味

除此之外他們也陸續的翻彈了Metallica的 “Orion” “one” “master of puppets”,現場也不時穿插了一些金屬與搖滾樂的橋段

看了介紹才知道他們都是彈金屬搖滾起家的 , what a rock!!! (兩人偏愛 Megadeth, Slayer, Testament ,Overkill,Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath 和 Queen XD)

他們的演奏真可說是融合了古典西班牙拉丁金屬搖滾世界佛朗明哥 , 風格較為流行的集大成啊!!!

不知不覺今年他們已經出了第三張錄音專輯《11:11》(另外有兩場現場專輯)

(官方版的介紹)

Rodrigo y Gabriela have released their new studio album, entitled “11:11” on Rubyworks.

“11:11” was recorded in Ixtapa, Mexico. The album has been 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 self-written compositions, “11:11” is Rod & Gab’s personal “Gracias” to a
first XI of 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.

“11:11” is the long awaited follow up to 2006’s “Rodrigo y Gabriela”, which has so far enjoyed
worldwide sales in excess of half a million albums.

Album tracklisting:
1 – ‘Hanuman’ – inspired by Carlos Santana
2 – ‘Buster Voodoo’ – inspired by Jimi Hendrix
3 – ‘Triveni’ – inspired by Israeli Oud three-piece Le Trio Joubran
4 – ‘Logos’ – inspired by jazz-rock master Al Di Meola
5 – ‘Santo Domingo’ – inspired by jazz pianist and composer Michel Camilo
6 – ‘Master Maqui’ – inspired by Spanish guitar legend Paco De Lucia
7 – ‘Savitri’ – inspired by John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussian’s ground breaking 1970’s world fusion ensemble Shakti
8 – ‘Hora Zero’ – inspired by Argentine tango composer and bandoneon virtuoso Astor Piazzola.
9 – ‘Chac Mool’ – inspired by Jorge Reyes, the Mexican composer who combined traditional Mexican instrumentation with new technology. Reyes died in February 2009.
10 – ‘Atman’ – inspired by Dimebag Darrell, never to be forgotten lead guitarist in Pantera and Damageplan, who was tragically murdered onstage in 2004.
11 – ’11:11’ – inspired by Pink Floyd.

其實他們三張專輯的內容取向都做了不少的更改噢

風格的差別還蠻大的 , 所以都蠻推薦聽聽看(但一定要從頭到尾聽完,因為他們的橋段起承轉合會比較多)

這張專輯還沒細聽

光是看到每首歌都受到了大師及經典名團的啟發,

就想再多花的時間深入從所有大師的作品源頭開始聽起

除了延續第二張較濃的拉丁味外 ,

從第二首歌 Buster Voodoo開始也加入了wah-wah , 後續曲目也有零星片段

旋律的部分較之前來的rock味濃了點,也有一些中東的感覺

接續還有什麼心得感想會再補上

真是期待他們以後出一張acoustic metal solo專輯阿!!!!!

不多說就來聽歌吧
