Spy Kids is an arrangement of music from Robert Rodriguez’s global cinematic sensations, Spy Kids, arranged for 6-part guitar ensemble by Rick Del Castillo and Matthew Lyons.
We’re in the process of creating a music video directed by Robert Rodriguez with nineteen amazing young players performing the new arrangement. The audio recording took place in June, 2023 at Music Hill Studio, before filming at The Long Center. We’ll release the video soon!
We would like to thank Robert Rodriguez and Troublemaker Studios for his incredibly generous donation of both the music and his time, expertise, and film crew to make this project possible.
We’re deeply grateful for the support of Rod Hairston, Reginald Carter, Luke Torvinen, and everyone at Music Hill Studio and Music Hill Ranch. Special thanks to the Long Center and McCallum High School.
