Rodrigo y Gabriela
Rodrigo y Gabriela are a musical duo who specialise in playing fast, rhythmic acoustic guitars. The pair met in Mexico in a thrash metal band called "Terra Acida". Growing frustrated with the limited scope of the domestic music scene, they pulled up roots and moved to Europe, where they have met considerable acclaim.
They have taken up residence in Dublin, Ireland, after hearing it was particularly welcoming to travelling musicians. Playing live gigs in various pubs and busking on Grafton Street and Temple Bar allowed them to practise their sound. In 2005 they toured extensively in festivals around the United Kingdom and beyond.
Their self-titled album Rodrigo y Gabriela was produced by the famous producer John Leckie and peaked (and entered) at #1 on the Irish Albums Chart [1]. It was released on March 13th 2006.
Previous to this, the duo had released two records - Live in Dublin and Manchester, and Re-Foc.
