Rodrigo y Gabriela are a bother and sister team of incredibly talented guitar and percussion players. I remember when I first went to see them I had never heard any of their music - and honestly - a 2 hour show of nothing but Spanish guitar music sounded like a terrible idea.
Then they started playing. I was completed enchanted the entire time and it ended up being one of the best concerts I have ever experienced. Not only are they mind blowing players - but they were both the sweetest and most grateful performers I ever saw. There was none of the usual insecure cockiness and 'rockstar' persona that I am sooo accustom to (and bored by) at many shows. They were genuinely thrilled to be playing for an audience who loved their music - shouted requests were happily honored and their was a palpable growing happiness throughout the room as the show went on. The dynamic of a bother-sister team continued the charm of the whole even.
Give 'em a listen. The high intensity beats usually lead to a hoop session.
