Area 52 is a 2012 album by acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela and the Cuban orchestra known as C.U.B.A. It is Rodrigo y Gabriela's fifth album overall, and their first collaboration with another group. Their aim was to "do our music with a Cuban orchestra that plays in a very traditional way, a fusion". All the songs on this album are re-recordings of songs previously released in their previous two studio albums. The duo spent 20 days recording in Cuba where "the pianist also made the arrangements for the orchestra. We'd play along with the musicians so they could hear our energy". Afterwards, the band overdubbed solo parts at their own studio.
