9 Dead Alive is the fourth studio album by Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela released on 25 April 2014 in Ireland ^[8] and on 29 April 2014 internationally. According to their Twitter, "each track is a personal celebration of individuals who have passed on, but through their deeds and words still resonate in the 21st century", ^[9] and is said to be a more rock-focused album compared to their Latin-focused material of the past. Its first single is "The Soundmaker", which is inspired by Spanish guitarist Antonio de Torres Jurado. ^{[10] [11]}
