Hermanos Gutiérrez’s New Album Is a Journey Through the Andes. It’s Also a Journey Through Their Past.

Hermanos Gutiérrez's new album, Los Ojos del Condor, takes listeners on a journey through the Andes, both literally and metaphorically. The album, set to release on September 25, explores the brothers' roots in Ecuador and the influence of their Swiss father. The title track, "Canto Andino," serves as the foundation for the album's exploration of the Andes' beauty and danger.

The album also features instrumental tracks that capture the contrasting landscape of the Andes, a place of peaceful days and sudden storms. The brothers recorded the album in Nashville with Dan Auerbach, who also produced their previous albums. To fully immerse themselves in the Andes, they traveled to Peru to capture footage for the album's video, "Canto Andino."

The trip to Machu Picchu, where they discovered the mountain named Yanantin, provided a fitting conclusion to their musical exploration of the Andes.
