iTunes Review
The acoustic-guitar duo of Rodrigo y Gabriela are here joined by a 13-piece Cuban orchestra, known as C.U.B.A. With arrangements from British jazz pianist and composer Alex Wilson, they deliver the musically adventurous and expansive Area 52, which adds horns, strings, hand drums, sitar, oud, and electric guitar to songs that originally appeared in stripped-down form on 2009's 11:11 and their self-titled 2006 release. The interplay between the classically trained Cuban musicians and these flamenco-styled acoustic rockers is inspired and forced both sets of musicians to rethink their approaches. Cuban music accents music differently than rock 'n' roll. The Carlos Santana tribute "Hanuman" is transformed into a wild celebration of sound. "Ixtapa" features an extended sitar solo from Anoushka Shankar. "11:11" retains its homage to Pink Floyd (especially in its David Gilmour–like guitar solo) while employing an intricate Latin rhythm that's closer to a Cuban folk song. This is a high-spirited collection of inspired musicianship.
Customer Reviews
disappointing
I am a huge fan of rodrigo and gabriella and was very much looking forward to their new album, however as I listened to it I grew very disappointed...
This is mainly because there are just two new songs (santo domingo and logos). These are really great. Howevert the other 7 songs are just revisited existing songs which were on their previous albums (Hanuman, diablo rojo, 11:11, ixtapa, juan loco, master maqui and tamacun), and which are exactly the same except for the fact that they are played together with a new band.
Hot hot
