ABOUT HERMANOS GUTIÉRREZ
Onstage, in an old church in Santa Fe during the tour for their last record, El Bueno Y El Malo, the brothers Estevan and Alejandro Gutiérrez looked at each other, their guitars in their laps, the crowd attentive to their instrumental, braided playing. It was the third song of their set, and they didn’t speak or gesture to one another to acknowledge what was happening. They were both crying. Neither hesitates to recall the moment—it lives vividly between them, a shared memory—but putting words to the emotion they felt remains difficult. It was a special night in a charged environment, this holy place in a desert city in New Mexico. “It felt like we were a medium,” says Estevan, the older of the two men. Alejandro agrees. “Sometimes you get hit by this emotional perception that you are the one playing the music,” he says. A connection with something bigger than this life, in this place, on this planet—it passes through the brothers into their playing and into the audience. In many ways, this ineffable feeling is the heart of Sonido Cósmico, the new Hermanos Gutiérrez album.
