RODRIGO Y GABRIELA

Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero have been playing guitar together for more than fifteen years. From their hesitant first steps as teenage thrash metallurgists in their native Mexico City, through the innocents abroad street players of Dublin's Grafton Street at the turn of the Millennium, to the universally acclaimed globe straddling tour machine of 2009; theirs is a musical union where mutual understanding goes beyond intuitive and into the realms of Zen. Rhythmic Yin to melodic Yang.

It has been three years since the release of their last studio album. Simply called Rodrigo y Gabriela it was first released in Ireland in February 2006, where it charted at # 1 in the national charts. This proved to be an auspicious start for a record which has since gone on to sell 600,000 copies worldwide. A slow burn, genuine word of mouth success story, the album proved to be Rod & Gab's international calling card. As first the UK, then Australia, South Africa, America, Europe and Japan succumbed to the unique charms of the record; the duo found themselves constantly on the road for more than two and a half years in support of the release.
