Summary
- Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela add vocals and lyrics for the first time.
- New album 'OurHome' explores themes of migration and humanity.
- Album was recorded in Japan and produced by the duo.
For over two decades, Mexican duo Rodrigo y Gabriela have captivated audiences with their instrumental acoustic guitar prowess. On their new album, 'OurHome,' released on September 18, 2026, they embark on a new artistic journey by incorporating vocals and lyrics for the first time.
The track "Somos Como Tú" (We Are Like You) serves as their vocal and lyrical debut, exploring profound themes of migration, displacement, dignity, and shared humanity from the perspective of those seeking a place to belong, sung in their native Spanish.
Recorded in Japan, 'OurHome' is shaped by the idea that home is an internal state. This concept resonated with the duo, drawing them to Japan for its art and aesthetics. The album features collaborations with former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman, cellist Hiyori Okuda, and guitarist Yukihiro Atsumi.
The album's production was handled by Sánchez and Quintero themselves, with mixing by Dave Sardy and mastering by Stephen Marcussen. Rodrigo y Gabriela are set to tour the U.S. starting September 30, 2026, including dates in Dallas, Texas, and Mexico City.
