Rodrigo y Gabriela is made up of a Mexican musical duo that specialize in playing fast, rhythmic acoustic guitars. The duo's members are Rodrigo Sánchez, lead guitar, and Gabriela Quintero, rhythm guitar. They met in Mexico City while playing in a thrash metal band called "Tierra Ácida". Growing frustrated with the limited scope of the domestic music scene, they pulled up roots and moved to Europe, where they have met considerable acclaim.
Since then they have released six albums – Foc, re-Foc, Live in Manchester and Dublin, and the self titled album Rodrigo y Gabriela, Live in Japan and 11:11. These musicians gained a reputation by playing in the pubs and bars of Dublin, and despite their unusual style, gained a cult following. They are resourceful musicians who can really play, and open-hearted, happy entertainers. That, very often, is what people want.
