Marty Friedman, one of the world’s most refined and respected guitar virtuosos and visionaries, is presenting his new single 2 Rebeldes, which he recorded in a new version with Spanish lyrics. The track originally comes from Marty’s latest, still-current solo studio album “Drama”, released in May 2024 on Frontiers Music Srl.
The single 2 Rebeldes is already out on digital platforms.
You can still order the album “Drama”.
Here’s what Marty has to say about the new single: “‘2 Rebeldes’ is my love letter to all the Latin American countries around the world. Each one of them brings me unique, warm memories, but they all share a common language, so I recorded a song with Spanish vocals for all of them. Hal-Ca from Asterism will be singing this song with me on my Latin American tour. When I think of a Japanese girl singing a song in Spanish, written by an American, in so many Latin American countries, I smile and think: ‘Yeah, that’s just the kind of thing Marty would do…'”
Well, those 200 million people in South America – all of Brazil included – definitely won’t agree with Marty’s observation above (editor’s note).
Marty Friedman’s new single drops right before his South American shows, which he’ll be playing this November.
Now, those of us living on the good old European continent are more interested in Marty’s return to European stages. Wish granted, sort of, but… Marty kicks off his European tour on April 4, 2027 with a show in Zoetermeer in the Netherlands, and the tour wraps up on April 23, 2027 in Istanbul, Turkey. All the dates are pretty far from Slovenia. The closest is the show in Zlin in the Czech Republic on April 18, followed by the Hungarian capital Budapest on April 19, while for folks on the Primorska side of Slovenia the Milan date might be worth a look too, where Friedman plays on April 10, 2027.
