TORONTO, ON – August 17, 2018 – Rodrigo y Gabriela are thrilled to announce today’s release of their first new music in over four years. “Cumbé” is available now via Rubyworks/ATO Records at all digital music retailers and streaming services.
Recorded in session at Rodrigo y Gabriela’s Lumbini Studio in Ixtapa, Mexico, “Cumbé” – which means the dance of people of color, and, in this instance, also pays tribute to the Cumbia music of Colombia – marks an exciting first glimpse of the instrumental guitar duo’s hugely anticipated fifth studio album, due to be recorded in October and arrive at last in early 2019. The track is joined by a thrilling live session video, streaming now at the official Rodrigo y Gabriela YouTube channel.
In the meantime, Rodrigo y Gabriela have just embarked on a major North American tour, with highlights including two special performances this weekend at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra (Gustavo Dudamel, conductor), set for tonight, August 17 and tomorrow, August 18. The tour – which includes both headline dates and festival appearances – continues through mid-September and October with a stop in Vancouver on October 8.
