Rodrigo y Gabriela at Denver's Buell Theater

Read "Rodrigo y Gabriela at Denver's Buell Theater" reviewed by Geoff Anderson


Rodrigo y GabrielaBuell Theater Denver, CO September 19, 2009

Who knew you could wring so much out of a couple acoustic guitars?

Rodrigo y Gabriela: Rodrigo y Gabriela

Read "Rodrigo y Gabriela" reviewed by Chris May


Forget every other acoustic guitar duo you've ever heard. Mexico's Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero up the ante with an album that owes as much to Metallica as it does to Paco De Lucia and Al Di Meola. It's a hard-driving, high decibel, rutting and strutting cathartic melange of metal, jazz, Mexican, Spanish and Gypsy musics. It's also gloriously melodic, and it makes you feel mighty chipper.

Sanchez and Quintero are survivors of Mexico City's early-1990s metal scene, where they ...

By Dennis Cook Reinvention is a tricky business. Veer too far from the known and one loses existing fans, stick too close to well trod paths and risk being predictable and safe. Rodrigo y Gabriela have gone their own way since they emerged with a bang in the early 2000s as a hypnotizing duo that mingled flamenco attack with metal accents, jazz seductiveness and more. With just two acoustic guitars (and some choice effects and smart use of volume), Rodrigo ...

There was a time when I was pretty consumed with, and you could make an argument that it could be considered “obsessed with," Robert Fripp's Guitar Craft legion—the California Guitar Trio, the League of Crafty Guitarists, and various smaller splinter groups. There was something about the shared skills of the many guitarists balancing complex pieces of intricate music, much of it approaching classical in style at times: It grabbed my imagination, filling my head with thoughts of notes dancing between ...

Rodrigo y Gabriela by Chris Strong There seems to be a burning desire, if not a philosophy of sorts, that pilots Rodrigo y Gabriela - a constant hunt for adventure. Practically this manifests itself not in the pursuit of fame, success, money or stability but rather a pursuit of the new, the unexpected, and the unknown, wherever that may lead. It is precisely that yearning that's ...
