those kin­dred souls who have had the horror

of rid­ing in my camry
or watched me eat a whop­per jr,

know that i love rodrigo y gabriela.

they are a man + woman fla­menco duo from mex­ico city,
rodrigo sanchez + gabriela quintero!

heav­ily influ­enced by a per­fect med­ley of pimp juice:
heavy metal, clas­sic rock, latin, bossa nova, clas­si­cal + world–
the sound they cre­ate is unlike any­thing out there.

their name was made street per­form­ing on the streets of dublin.  
damien rice even­tu­ally became one of their buds + asked them to come on tour with him.

their self titled album was the rare piece of work that was unbe­liev­able from start to fin­ish.
“rodrigo y gabriela,” was #1 on the irish charts, top­ping both johnny cash + the arc­tic mon­keys.

in the past few years, they’ve played coachella, trav­eled the world + really blew up.  jeaha!

11:11 is the new album which came out a few weeks ago.
it isn’t as epic, but still pure gold:

two favorite tracks off the new album so far:
Rodrigo Y Gabriela — 11:11 (mp3)
Rodrigo Y Gabriela — Hama­cun (mp3)

two favorite tracks off the last album:
Rodrigo Y Gabriela — Tama­cun (mp3)
Rodrigo Y Gabriela — Dia­blo Roja (Live in Japan) (mp3)

tama­cun is one of my favorite tracks to juggle/​play with live, there’s a dope blend of it on count­ing laz­ers, holla.
