For immediate release – Mexico’s spectacular acoustic guitar duo, ‘Rodrigo y Gabriela’ are returning for the sixth time to play to their increasingly large Australian fan base in April 2015. Their performances will take in Sydney, Melbourne, and Bluesfest in Byron Bay.
Rodrigo y Gabriela have taken the mainstream media and music lovers the world over by storm as they showcase their blistering original songs and famous cover versions in their live set on Spanish guitars.
To be hailed by Acoustic Magazine UK as “the most exciting and intoxicating live acoustic performers on the planet” might cramp the style of many artists. But since winning that praise, Rodrigo y Gabriela have swept all before them. That includes wowing the President of the United States, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle in autumn 2010 when they played at the Whitehouse.
John Shand from the SMH raved that “Rodrigo has become even more virtuosic in his lead guitarist role, although it is Gabriela’s playing that continues to define the sound, her rhythmic work combining tempestuous strumming with furious percussive attacks on her guitar’s body.”
Live in concert, Rodrigo y Gabriela are nothing short of thrilling. You can trust The Guardian when it reported that their live show was “So ear-poppingly dexterous, so ineffably charming and so supremely entertaining… their hyper-speed virtuosity is mesmerizing.”
Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero have been playing guitar together for more than seventeen years. First as young thrash metal fans in their native Mexico City, then as innocents abroad street musicians in Dublin, Ireland at the turn of the Millennium; to the globe straddling, film scoring, record breaking artists they are today.
To celebrate the upcoming Australian tour, we’re giving readers the chance to win a double pass to catch the duo in Melbourne on Tuesday 7th April 2015 at The Palais. Enter your details below for a chance to win!
