Interview with Mexican acoustic stars Rodrigo y Gabriela
Tagged: Mexico, mexico city, Rodrigo y GabrielaPosted on: June 19th, 2007“Instrumental guitar music isnt exactly a music genre that screams “Buy me Buy me” to all and sundry. You dont really expect to find the Gypsy Kings playlisted on 5fm. But then, you also dont expect to find Rodrigo y Gabrielas foot-tappingly persuasive blend of Spanish guitar rhythms.
As LA Weekly remarked recently, one hesitates to call Rodrigo y Gabriela acoustic guitarists, “because the term implies feathery noodling, folkie narcissism and/or New Age muzak making”. The truth is, these guys rock — hard — and their guitars may be acoustic but you know all about it. They met up while playing for Tierra Acida, a death-metal band from Mexico City, in the 1990s.”
