Rodrigo y Gabriela close 2020 with a seasonal cover of 'Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence'
Rodrigo y Gabriela close out 2020 with an unexpected but entirely seasonal cover of Ryuichi Sakamoto's theme to 1983's 'Merry Christmas, Mr' Lawrence', starring David Bowie, Tom Conti and Sakamoto himself. Rod and Gab have triumphed under challenging circumstances in 2020.
COVID might have prevented them from touring their Grammy-winning 'Mettavolution' album, but the Mexican duo seized the opportunity to broadcast from their home studio; growing their online fanbase with a weekly series of concerts, AMAs and even recipes.
Add in collaborations with soccer legend Pele, Fatboy Slim, Galantis and French star "-M-", and not forgetting a blistering live album; 'Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence' is a timely, festive reminder of the open-minded, endlessly-inventive, musical palette that Rodrigo y Gabriela draw upon.
‘Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence’ is released on Rubyworks on Friday 25th December 2020.
