Through their internationally popular recordings, televised concerts, and live performances, Young & Rollins have established themselves as one of today's most innovative Latin guitar groups with an enduring popularity. Beginning with their debut album <a href="spotify:album:0j5xkUupDgpMSb6fBo2Qp4" data-name="Salsa Flamenca">Salsa Flamenca</a> in the year 2000 which hit the Billboard Top 25 Chart, Young & Rollins have gone on to amass a worldwide following and earn much critical acclaim, with the Washington Post declaring "Young and Rollins display a shocking breadth of skills." <a href="spotify:artist:3blOsom4oRo6dAN4TB7xpv" data-name="Lawson Rollins">Lawson Rollins</a> and Dan Young came from musical backgrounds - Lawson started out as a classically trained guitarist before moving into Latin American guitar styles, while Dan holds a degree in jazz from the New School University in New York City - but they immediately realized that they shared a similar musical vision. Both had a profound love of Latin music, particularly the Brazilian and salsa traditions, as well as an appreciation of the contemporary developments in those genres. But in their own work, they sought to move beyond the often confining boundaries of musical genres.
"We've tried to open ourselves up to a diversity of influences and to explore new paths for creative expression," Dan explains. Lawson agrees: "Young & Rollins is really a hybrid of different styles that joins our enthusiasm for experimentation with a respect for different musical traditions."
