Nuevo Flamenco guitar duo Rodrigo Y Gabriela continue to share new music ahead of their forthcoming studio album release, Mettavolution, due out on April 26th via ATO Records.
On Friday, Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero released “Terracentric”, a twangy, slide-heavy rocker, which was also accompanied with a live performance video.
“Sometimes we need to be self centered in order to be the best version of ourselves for us and for others,” Sanchez and Quintero told Billboard. “Meditation is a good example of an individual practice that in fact is the most compassionate action we can do for everyone. Clearing the mind is not only for your own benefit but for the benefit of all living beings. “Terracentric” is an invitation to look inward, to be a little bit ‘selfish’ for a minute and do what you can for your own sake. If we all did the same this world would be a very different one. “Terracentric” is the connection with this earth. Reconnecting with the so called reality of our human existence.”
Friday’s “Terracentric” release is preceded by an incredible, nearly-19-minute rendition of Pink Floyd‘s “Echoes”. As the duo explained of their Pink Floyd tribute, “We are big Pink Floyd fans. That track, especially the live in Pompeii version means a lot to us, we even made a huge visual reference in our video for ‘Hanuman’. Besides that, the lyrics are even more relevant now than they were 45 years ago, the search for knowledge about ourselves, it’s becoming a key element for survival these days, that’s what evolution is all about at the end of the day.” Rodrigo Y Gabriela have also shared the album’s title track, as well as performed it along with a group of six dancers on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
