As per MXDWN.com, Rodrigo revealed the pair are “half way in the middle of a new album.” One of the new songs, “Waiting To Be Free” featured vocals from Sanchez. Later in the night Gabriela introduced Friedman as one of the duo’s early heroes. The guitarist added to a cover of “Oblivion” by Astor Piazolla.
