Rodrigo y Gabriela

Flamenco Guitar Pyrotechnics of Rodrigo y Gabriela

Soundcheck | May 27, 2019

The Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela first made a name for themselves busking in Dublin, Ireland, even though they spoke no English at the time. With roots in flamenco, classical, and thrash metal, they perform technical feats of wonder in both originals and incredible covers. The latest record from the duo, Mettavolution, their first in five years, contains driving numbers, some incredibly fleet-fingered virtuosity, and a mind-altering psychedelic cover of a Pink Floyd tune. Rodrigo y Gabriela join us for some stunning guitar precision, in-studio.
