Next up in 20 Albums in 20 Weeks is Rodrigo y Gabriela’s
self-titled album. It’s their third album, and my favorite of theirs. Rodrigo y
Gabriela are a guitar duo playing rock, metal, and Nuevo flamenco. It’s hard to
believe that the band’s amazing sound is coming from only two people.
What They Think
Rodrigo y Gabriela took off outside of the US, landing at
number 1 on a couple of charts. Their fame spread slowly, but they are now a hot
ticket to see in concert in the US.
What I Think
The Rodrigo y Gabriela concert I attended a couple of years
ago is still one of the best I have ever been to. Their music is incredible and
watching them play was unbelievable. They play with passion and skill rarely
seen in music today.
Favorite Lyric
All of the songs on the album are instrumental. My favorite
song from the album (today) is “Ixtapa”. I can’t stop listening to this song!
Where It Fits
Rodrigo y Gabriela is great driving music. They are also
incredible to watch in old concert footage or videos. I will now be a life-long
devotee of all things Rodrigo y Gabriela. I cannot recommend this band enough. Check the
clip below and judge for yourself.
