Former Megadeth and Cacophony guitarist Marty Friedman has a new single out in ‘2 Rebeldes (Spanish Vocal)’, taken from his last solo album, Drama, which came out back in 2024 via Frontiers Music Srl.
“‘2 Rebeldes’ is my love letter to all the Latin countries around the world,” Friedman said of the new release. “Each one has unique warm memories for me, but they share a common language, so I did a Spanish vocal song for everyone. 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 dude in so many Latin countries, it makes me smile and think, ‘Yeah, this is something Marty would do.’”
Drama was recorded in Italy, where Friedman had access to a treasure trove of vintage guitars along with his modern signature models, and was written to be a pure, uplifting musical experience.
Tracks featured are: ‘Illumination’, ‘Song for an Eternal Child’, ‘Triumph (Official Version)’, ‘Thrill City’, ‘Deep End’, ‘Dead of Winter’, ‘Mirage’, ‘A Prayer’, ‘Acapella’, ‘Tearful Confession’, ‘Icicles’, ‘2 Rebeldes (Dead of Winter) (Spanish Vocal)’ and ‘Mirage (Guitar Karaoke Version)’ (Japanese bonus track).
From his groundbreaking beginnings with Cacophony, alongside the legendary Jason Becker, to his pivotal role in propelling Megadeth to its peak of popularity with his range and unorthodox melodic sense, Marty Friedman has solidified his status as a guitar icon.
Friedman is touring South America celebrating the 34th anniversary of his landmark album Scenes, and come December he will be playing the Hero Rock Festival in Korea, followed by two shows in Los Angeles in January, before taking his Live Drama tour through Europe in April 2027, including a date in London, England on 6th April, with other countries to follow.
