Geoff Bennett:

The music of Hermanos Gutierrez carries listeners across imagined landscapes, blending Latin traditions, surf rock, folk, and cinematic Western sounds into entirely new instrumental journeys.

Now the Swiss Ecuadorian brothers, Estevan and Alejandro Gutierrez, are turning their gaze homeward. Their forthcoming album, "Los Ojos Del Condor," draws on the musical traditions of South America and their family's roots in Ecuador and Peru.

Their new music produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys is both a celebration of heritage and an invitation to discover the cultures and landscapes that shape them.

As part of our arts and culture series, Canvas, we're joined now in studio by Hermanos Gutierrez.
