Album Details
Rodrigo and Gabriela are two fast-fingered, Dublin-based, Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock, and often imbued with the timeless Hispano classical influences. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for metal music. Rodrigo is a deft finger-picker who can move from raging speed to sensual soul in the space of a fret, while Gabriela employs fast, rhythmic techniques. Her percussionists thrashing of strings and drumming of the instruments body inevitably raises comparisons with flamenco which they acknowledge as an influence but swerve as a pigeonhole, The duos repertoire flies beyond familiar Latin folk guitarists styles because of the metal connection: their reworkings of Led Zeps Stairway To Heaven and Metallicas Orion are musts, and the presence. On Ixtapa , of the fiery Hungarian gypsy violinist, Roby Lakatos, is inspirational.
