ABOUT REINA DEL CID ----------------------------------------------
In 2007, singer/songwriter Rachelle Cordova launched her CZcams channel and selected the name Reina del Cid, which is Spanish for “Queen of El Cid”, which in turn was the name of her guitar. Since then, she has been cranking out beautiful original material across four albums while also building a global fanbase behind her weekly covers released as part of her “Sunday Mornings with Reina del Cid” series. Her primary songwriting partner is Toni Lindgren, who is a phenomenal lead guitarist, and they have toured as a duo and with a full band across the US and Europe. Besides music, she is passionate about video games, literature, and science fiction, especially anything related to space, which is a common topic for many of her tunes.
Reina del Cid has so many terrific original songs, that we had a tough time narrowing down the list to something manageable for this episode. However, we are going to give you a “variety pack” of tunes, ranging from recent studio recordings to live performances of older material. We are not going to spend much time on her popular covers, but I encourage you to head over to her channel and indulge in her creative talents.

RCD’s tunes are as sincere as they are sweet, as melodic as they are melliforous, and as deep as they are dangerous. Thank you so much for your music Elle and Toni.
I love Reina and Toni. I’m a 67 year old man who’s been hooked on their talents for 10 years.
These two always give it all they've got. They are genuine, authentic, creative musicians and true artists. They always try new things and get better and better. They deserve your attention and support. Something this good only comes around once in a while. Aren't we lucky?
Authentic. Absolutly. If you like Auto-Tune, don't bother with these two. On t'other hand, if you like music, genuinely performed, do.
We are. Oh, was that a rhetorical question? In that case: we are. We still are. 8)
That Roswell song was sooooo great! Toni sure can play any guitar and Elle’s voice is so unique LOVE THEM
Elle and Toni are the best thing I've ever found on the net.
Toni for president !!!
When the musical Rolls and Royce come to together, Woolf is one of my all time favorite songs, Roswell close behind. The technical display from Toni is incredible
RDC is an absolute gem. MORSE CODE is an absolute classic. And Death Cap. And everything on Candy Apple. Huge talents.
Morse Code is fantastic!
@@jdy5556 My view, too. (Though "Woolf" is perhaps my fav track of all - see RDC at the Icehouse video with Toni letting rip toward the end of Woolf. But, yes, "Morse Code" is brill.
Pretty lie is also really good too!!
I also love What I'm Losing... 😊👍
@@Bluesphan Yes!!!
Yes I have enjoyed Reina and Toni music for years. Both artist in their own right. Love the covers they do😊
They're so talented. Have you checked out our video about Josh Turner? They make an appearance in there too! czcams.com/video/HMeDAoX5aaY/video.htmlsi=JFLR2LM-v-k_8hA8
@@fortivomusic Joshua Lee Turner and Carson McKee are also wonderful musicians and it made me happy to see my favorite duos go on tour together! Such talent!
She recently changed her name to Elle Cordova, she is such a Creative artist!!!
Rachelle Cordova is her real name, and she goes by Elle. Reina de CID is a moniker that unintentionally stuck at the beginning of her career.
Reina and Toni are incredible. Thanks for putting this together!
Did they get permission to reused and repackage video produced by others?
@@dbreardon No. But we are RDC supporters on Patreon, and we posted this video in that community for them to see. Our goal is to drive traffic to the artists' channels and websites, and so far they have been quite receptive. Thanks for your support!
I was lucky enough to catch Reina & Toni when they played London.
two talented ladies who`ve worked hard at their craft. I respect and admire them.
These two women are captivating. Their cover of Neil Young's Harvest Moon is magical.
The one with the other Favorites?
@@NotThatDuck Yup - the four make a fab quartet.
@@sebxiou-av375 Ain't that the truth. They are awesome together.
@@NotThatDuck :)
My first thought when he picked Me and Julio. Magical, transcendent, yup.
She’s a great songwriter, singer, artist. Toni is a super talented top gitarist.
Saw them in London last year. Stunning performers, with the Other Favourites. Can’t wait to see them tour again
Along with the very talented Reina, the cast of players in all her videos are top class.
Her song Cassiopeia is my favorite!
Roswell is class.
I think Rachelle is flat out the best lyricist working today. She is a true poet. ‘Nuf said. I took in the Candy Apple Red show in San Diego and they sound just as good live as they do in the studio. Toni’s virtuosity is something to see in person; she is just fantastic. And, yeah, we’re all just stars and bacon. 😉
Great comments! Her lyrics are truly impressive. Her background in English literature shows through her masterful poetry in song. And Toni? Well, we can't get enough of her playing!
I discovered reina del cid about a year ago i was looking at covers of some songs and come across her and Toni and been hooked ever since great talent them two no matter if it's a cover or original material they're grrrrrreat. We need more talent like this because music nowadays sucks.
Yeah - Reina is something special when it comes to songwriting. Her live/video work with Toni Lindgren + Josh Turner/Carson McKee (& Mary Spender, The Petersens etc) is in my opinion amongst the very best music you can discover (for by now, the last 15 years or so)
We couldn't agree more! So ... we just published our episode on @JoshTurnerGuitar. We hope you like it, too. (Mary's episode will be out in the next couple of weeks ... stay tuned!) czcams.com/video/HMeDAoX5aaY/video.html
Josh Turner is also another great talent I've seen a lot of his videos and like RDC he does great covers and original. My hats off to people like these that keep the music alive and for that I thank you.
She is amazing! Toni is also a great bass player. Elle (Reina) is an incredible poet as well.
They're a tremendous duo. Saw them just last year. Their work with The Other Favorites is incredible, too! My absolute favorite of theirs is Annie. That one gives me chills every time.
Love everything they do .Two talented women ❤
Roswell is how I discovered Reina and Toni. Later I saw them live on our courthouse steps during the UFO festival. I am now a lifetime fan. Thanks for this review. I've subscribed and shared this. I expect to enjoy learning of many musicians through your work. Your delivery is professional and engaging. I wish you all the best.
Thanks so much for your support! Much appreciated.
We just published our episode on @JoshTurnerGuitar. We hope you like it, too. czcams.com/video/HMeDAoX5aaY/video.html
See them in concert if at all possible!
Roswell is one of the greatest songs ever!
J'aime écouter leurs voix reposantes, harmonieuses accompagnées de leurs guitares qu'elles maîtrisent parfaitement ... Merci à elles.
Interestingly the This one's gonna hurt video was posted the the same day as i had tickets to see her play live for the first time Oct 21 2018 in Hamilton , Ontario, Canada. i can't pick a favorite of her songs i love them all , but if i had to i would choose Apple and Oranges.
i love Reina and Toni songs. i always enjoy their numbers while driving.
Roswell is my favorite song and you my favorite new artist thanks to Mary Spender I've been watching All day and I'm a very big FAN....from Jerry
I discovered the duo in you tube about 4 years ago... Immediately fan... And always now at 77 '... From France.
This is a great tribute to Reina and Toni. They are awesomely talented!
Outstanding! Like you, I discovered RDC through a cover -- Reina and Toni playing Jambalaya on the railroad tracks. I've been hooked ever since.
We still think @ToniLindgren had the best quote on *ANY* RDC video during the Jambalaya blooper reel. "Train!" 🤣 IYKYK
Its good to see the new moon of folk music rising again.
Not only are Reina and Toni two of my favorite artists because they are so good at their craft and pretty young ladies..... they always look like they are throughly enjoying themselves and having fun! 😘😊
Reina is a great great singer. A true talent. And a fantastic writer. But Toni? She's the special sauce. Probably the most effortless looking guitarist I've ever seen, despite how hard she must have worked to get that good. She''ll play ridiculously hard stuff and make it look easy.
Together these two are formidable.
This should be farther up in the chain of discovery. Wonderful mix
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video. We try to really give a solid picture of each artist we showcase!
Way to go! A fan from day one. Can't wait for you to visit South Florida and I can't wait for the world to get the opportunity to enjoy your talent. Keep up the hard work. I have no doubt it will pay off one day soon
Thank you for putting a spotlight on RDC and Toni!
Her best song is her duet of Morse Code with Josh T. Great chemistry! Her cover of Islands in the Stream with Mary Spender was excellent also.
We couldn't agree more! Without giving away any huge secrets, you'll be happy to know that we have similar episodes focused on Josh and Mary coming out in the next few weeks. Hopefully you'll like those, too!
@@fortivomusic Can't wait. Should be excellent!
@@fortivomusic Brilliant, thanks for that and this - subscribed.
As promised, we recently published our episode on @JoshTurnerGuitar. We hope you'll like it, too. (Mary's is coming up in the next couple of weeks.) czcams.com/video/HMeDAoX5aaY/video.html
@@fortivomusic It was great! Awesome selection of songs. Really highlights his talent. Can't wait for Mary's. Thanks!!
I've been listening to the girls videos for a year or so, glad your channel popped up, cause you have introduced me to some of originals I haven't heard. These girls are so talented , not just in the music, but the settings and content ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
Thanks for this video covering one of the best singer/songwriters out there. I first became acquainted with RDC when I chanced on their marvelous cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here and I was hooked.
Great documentry, well presented, about a fabulous artist.
Two artists!!
Fell in love with RDC years ago and they only get better
I think that’s the best wrap song I ever heard
I started watching them a long time ago. They have done well, and I wish them the best of the future!!!!!!!
I discovered Reina del Cid while searching CZcams for Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill - Reina & Toni's cover knocked my socks off! Another favourite cover is Neil Young's Harvest Moon. I never get tired of listening to these two covers which says something. Both women have great personalities as well and I love and admire them hugely.
It's hard to describe the feelings I get when I listen to Toni and Elle. I guess smooth,peaceful, contented, all is well. Even when the song is sad, they make me feel good ! Listening to their songs on my playlist, it just goes from one beautiful rendition to another.
Been following the Girls on CZcams since the beginning. Been great to watch them grow musically. Such great talent. I remember the early videos when Rachelle's soft voice was almost inaudible and then they learned how to mike her so that she sounded better and better. I bet her song writing talent will some day be discovered by a big name who will want what she has for their own. I think its only a matter of time.
Good presentation of Reina's song.....I hope alot of people see it and she can gain more fans. Thanks.
I think I'm a little bit in love..
Reina - and Toni - are fabulous; they are each brilliant and mega talented in their own ways - but put them together and wow! So brilliantly musical. Toni is now my second-fav guitarist, behind only Sir Brian May (and he's been my number one for decades - way before Toni was born!). Reina's use of vocabulary to write her songs brings superb, intelligent results. These two are recommended to anyone who likes music.
Is it a coincidence that Reina is a space nut just like Brian May, the astrophysicist? 🙂 Also, sometimes it sounds like Reina's lyrics take a page out of Neil Peart's playbook for writing intellectual literature-inspired songs for Rush.
I love these guys!
“Cassiopeia” is how I became aware of Reina. What a charming lullaby for a techie new mother to sing to her child. I just love it and am so grateful to have heard it from Reina.
I've been a fan of Reina since her University of Minnesota days. Her video of Library Girl recorded in the university library was an eye opening example of her talents. I'm so pleased that she and Tony found each other there. What a partnership! She has collaborated with many other young artists from Josh and Carson to Mary Spender.
Boy, you're a long-time RDC fan! Very cool. Our goal is to help introduce artists like Reina and Toni to new fans, so hopefully this will help. Thanks for your support!
I only have known them for about five years but yes, that Library Girl (for which she was excluded from her beloved Uni Library fotr a while - sacrifices for one's art) is a classic. Apart from its own qualities, it was so inspirational for other young (and not so young!) musicians. And yes, despite each being superb, the combo of Reina and Toni is yet greater than the parts. (Ps through them I have also found Josh and carson and Mary).
@@sebxiou-av375 Please stay tuned ... in the next few weeks we will be releasing similar "Artist Spotlight" videos for Josh/Carson/TOF and Mary Spender. Hopefully you'll like those, too!
@@fortivomusic :) Thank you, Sir.
Thanks dad!
Listen to The Cooling, Into the mystic , The Death cap and Jambulaya if you want to be entralled. Just pure magic.!
I thought I was loving her wraps and skits on Facebook and I'm learning I've only scratched the surface of her past content.
I truly enjoyed. I love the talent of everyone. May you continue to entertain and bring smiles to faces.
What a great collection of musicians backing this beautiful singer … and that lead guitarist is simply amazing and beautiful to boot … doesn’t get any better to bring off this unique and uplifting song.
Yay, they deserve more attention.
Candy Apple Red. Toni's finale on the guitar. Classy and skilful. She is a phenomenon.
Rena and Toni & Company awesome job love it❤❤❤
She’s great because she has fun in all she does.
New fan In ❤ 👁️ out tour in philly
"Cassiopeia". Every few months I swing by Reina for some good music, and every time I am taken in by her soft gentle breathy voice. I don't think anyone in the future will be able to mimic her voice, it is special. And she can write a tune alright. Reina is a gift to the world, we should enjoy her while we can.
We completely agree! Thanks for your comments!
I like it - Elle and Toni - So beautiful video moments for me, here in France - Thank fot this awesome story...
Great to see their hard work and fun is getting noticed. Great compilation.
I've been into these two for a while. Toni's guitar parts always make me smile. Thanks for highlighting them. They and all their compadres deserve it.
I've been watching her videos for years and she and her friends just keep getting better and better 👌
Thank you for putting this together!
Great to highlight these Rising Rockets, good on you.❤
A fitting portrait of two of my favourite artists. I've been following them for some years now and was delighted to see them live in Cologne last November together with The Other Favourites.
Thank you for spreading the Good News. Reina and Toni deserve more attention.
I'm much more enthralled with Toni's guitar playing than I am with Reina's vocal ability.
They are both amazingly talented, but you're right that Toni's guitar playing often goes underappreciated.
She can certainly sing a damn sight better that I can! 😄
But I wouldn't really classify Reina as a vocalist (though obviously she does that and is well practiced at it!). Rather I'd call her at heart a songwriter, a poet. A wordsmith who sings what she writes, rather than a singer who writes something to sing.
A Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan or John Prine rather than a Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury or Luciano Pavarotti.
@@zak3744 i kinda tempered my opinion from 2 months ago. Elle (as i understand she has reverted to her real name.. Rachelle ?) really has talent and should showcase it the best she can) .
That's a great observation and a perfectly worded description,@@zak3744! Thanks for adding this. Very cool.
> A Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan or John Prine rather than a Whitney Houston, Freddie Mercury or Luciano Pavarotti.
At the same time, her voice has a certain quality to it; at least for me I just find it so comforting to listen to.
I had to watch this a few times. Fantastic. Thanks
Excellent! So happy you're enjoying it!
Those Girls Really Shine!
Love them😊
Excellent spotlight! I am a BIG fan of everything these two ladies put out.
That awesome friendship and music duo. Was a fan and still a fan! Always bringing the Good stuff! ❤
The band were so fun and good.😊
thanks for featuring Reina del Cid and Toni. I've been following them for several years and love their videos. I would have liked a bit of breathing room at the end of each of their performances before your commentary. just two or three seconds to let it fade before the commentary comes in.
Thanks so much for this feedback! We will take this into account with future episodes. Also, if you enjoyed this episode and want to listen to the RDC tunes without the commentary, please check out the playlist we compiled:
