A very Uruguayan Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
We are proud to present to you “Uruguay”, a spot that we shot together with Young & Rubicam for the Uruguayan Ministry of Tourism featuring our hommage song to this special country. There are only so many things you can do while waiting for that turkey in the stove to be done – watching this video is considered one of the best ways to gap your waiting time. If you can’t get enough of this song, you can now download “Uruguay” on iTunes and Amazon! Follow the links and listen to IGUDESMAN & JOO whenever you want!
Christmas Confusion – on video!
We’re headed towards the end of November, so what else to say than: Merry Christmas, everyone!
We had a lot of fun recording “Christmas Confusion” with Joshua Bell for his Christmas CD release “Musical Gifts” (available on itunes, amazon and other channels)! As you know, we are never satisfied with simply playing from notes, but prefer to do our own thing. Watching the video above (or following this link), published on Yahoo Music, will show to you that even Christmas feels a little bit different when you put it into the hands of IGUDESMAN & JOO. Have fun, buy the CD, come to our concerts (Premiere in Madrid coming up on Dec 6!), and enjoy that peaceful time right before Christmas!
¡Hablamos Español!
Our minds are set to Spanish! After shooting a TV spot for the Uruguayan ministry of tourism, we’re going to Spain to perform in Madrid for the first time! Get your tickets here, be there and make sure the Spanish capital treats us well when we come there for our PREMIERE of “A Little Nightmare Music” at Teatro Fernán Gómez! And there are even more Spanish-esque shows coming up! We’re going to South America once again in January to perform in ECUADOR at Teatro Nacional Casa de Cultura in Quito (30 Jan 2014) – stay tuned for more info.
Yo me voy a Uruguay…
We knew it the whole time – Uruguay es el mejor país! Aleksey’s fabulous composition “Uruguay” cherishes this small yet amazingly diverse and rich country in South America full of joyful people. The Ministerio de Turismo liked the song – and the two of us – so much that they invited us to appear in a TV spot advertising the cultural and natural attractions of this country. We are currently shooting the TV spot at various locations – Punta del Este, Plaza Independencia, Teatro Solis, and many more.
¿What can we say? – ¡We like it here in América del Sur!
Big Bang!
This New Year’s Eve will come with a BIG BANG! IGUDESMAN & JOO are invited to play the NYE gala concert with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center, NYC.
Alan Gilbert, NY Phil, Igudesman & Joo, Big Apple and an even BIGGER NIGHTMARE – don’t miss out on this! Tickets are on sale! Click here!
Show Me My Roots!
Little Aleksey – Big Bear
Igudesman has lost his roots! Where else to look for them than Russia! IGUDESMAN & JOO are currently touring Aleksey’s country of birth with performances in Novosibirsk, St. Petersburg and Moscow.
