Hermanos Gutiérrez

THE BROTHERS BEHIND instrumental guitar duo Hermanos Gutiérrez, Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez, never set out to make music together. But their collaboration was destined to happen.

Growing up in Switzerland, Alejandro began playing nylon-string guitar around age 10, learning the fingerstyle associated with the Argentinian folk music, milonga and salsa he loved. Estevan didn’t pick up the instrument until years later, while Alejandro was away in Ecuador. But they never played together until one night when Estevan invited his brother to visit.
