One of the most exciting acoustic guitar CDs I’ve heard for a while, this Mexican duo really rock on their nylon string guitars using all manner of guitar percussion, string banging, damping and rapid fi re fl amenco strumming techniques. Formerly veterans of the Mexican thrash metal scene Rodrigo and Gabriela now pour enormous amounts of passion and energy into their acoustic guitars and have developed an incredible live reputation following stints learning to quell rowdy audiences in bars and busking on Dublin streets. Th ey even tackle that Latin chestnut ‘Stairway To Heaven’ instrumentally with class and style. Early copies of the album come with a DVD of live takes and the duo talking about their music and a short lesson for all those wannabe acoustic guitar players out there.
Paul Barr is from Readings Carlton.
