This week's World Music Artist Spotlight is Hermanos Gutiérrez
Hermanos Gutiérrez (Spanish for "Gutiérrez Brothers") is a Swiss Latin instrumental band formed in 2015 in Zürich by Ecuadorian-Swiss brothers Alejandro Gutiérrez (guitar and lap steel) and Estevan Gutiérrez (guitar and percussion).
Around age nine, Estevan learned to play classical guitar in Latin styles such as milonga and salsa, and as a surfer was later inspired by surf rocker Jack Johnson. Alejandro, who is eight years younger, taught himself guitar by watching tutorial videos on YouTube.
The music these two brothers make evokes expansive plains and rough wildernesses, saguaros and surfs, spaghetti westerns and Morricone soundtracks.
The pair have released several independent albums and in 2022, released El Bueno Y El Malo produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys on his Easy Eye Sound record label to critical acclaim.
