Rodrigo y Gabriela

This is fusion music at its liveliest: two young Mexican musicians decide to explore their more indigenous roots. They travel to Europe, end up hanging out in Ireland, allowing their mutual interest in flamenco to draw them on, and finally cutting a studio disc that ends up number one on the Irish charts. Now their music reputation is spreading to the UK and the USA. Thom Jurek of allmusic.com calls their music “...smoke and fire…[burning] across genres and traditions.” It’s wild and passionate and full of life. Rodrigo y Gabriela is tango and rock and flamenco and much more, fused together into one wild, joyful celebration.
