Title: Rodrigo y Gabriela anyone?
Post by: shock on Friday, October 19, 2007, 10:54:38 AM

I just got a listen of them last night and was HOOKED.

Types of music is folksy, I suppose.  They are a pair of acoustic guitar players from Mexico who have some crazy abilities.  They are coming to my area tomorrow, and although the show is sold out, I am hoping I can buy tickets off someone.

Give 'em a listen even if you don't think you will like them.  It's really catchy.

While amazing they surely are, their repertoire needs more variety.  I hope they grow from here.  Outstanding talent.

Videos at their site (http://www.rodgab.com/watch.htm)

Edit:  Well, their album (http://www.amazon.com/Rodrigo-y-Gabriela-Bonus-DVD/dp/B000HKDEE2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-1009065-4836116?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1192824328&sr=1-1) sounds a fair bit more varied than the videos.  Good stuff.  I had never heard of them before.  I do thank you for the heads up.
