Hermanos Gutiérrez: Tiny Desk Concert
Музыка
Felix Contreras | January 31, 2023
There is a slow burning intensity to everything Hermanos Gutiérrez does, including how the duo walked into our offices and saw the Tiny Desk for the first time. “Wow, there it is…” Estevan said quietly to his brother Alejandro.
Hermanos Gutiérrez’s origin story is as intricate as the guitar playing styles of its two members. The brothers have roots in both Switzerland and Ecuador, and the time spent in those two very distinct cultures and geographies gives their sound a tempered European coolness, coupled with a warm, playful energy. From the opening strains of “El Bueno Y El Malo” the brothers’ turn behind the Desk is the perfect introduction to their music if you don’t already know them - and a treat if you already do.
They weave intricate guitar lines over each other that intertwine to the point that if you close your eyes you can’t tell where one begins and the other ends. With a slight touch of a digital loop pedal, Estevan even sneaks in an entire percussion section on bongo and cowbell on “Tres Hermanos.” When my Alt.Latino co-host Anamaria Sayre and I interviewed them on the podcast last year, I notice that they converse very much like they play: their comments intertwine and layer upon each other’s in the same way they play in unison and against each other in songs like “Thunderbird” and “Pueblo Man.”

I went on a date & the guy was playing this in the car! I was mesmerized while we drove in silence soaking this sweetness in. I later texted him to get their name & have been listening to them non stop. They were perfect viewing partners for the Eclipse ❤ So much appreciation.

Can’t put into words how much I appreciate their music. In the past 2 years they have shared with me so many precious moments. Organic, telling stories without words. Absolutely beautiful.
First time listening to these guys and I was hooked from the first 5 seconds. Can't wait to have this on as I drive off into the sunset!
Saw them live last night in San Antonio (their first time in SA). The energy was cosmic, absolutely transcendent. They are totally immersed in the music they make- the rest of us are just lucky enough to be there.

The Tarantino vibes are strong in this one...
Every time I listen to these two cats do their thing, I find myself without defense, unable to keep my hips from rolling slowly, deeply, powerfully this way and that, embodying the super sultry nature of their dark blues sound. All joking aside, the works of Hermanos Gutierrez is a gift I wish everyone could receive: an ultra-concentrated infusion of creative energy that awakens, nourishes and heals the woman without and the goddess within. For kindly reminding me of my divine powers, I am truly grateful. 🙏
