Artist of the Week: Rodrigo y Gabriela

 

This duo started in Mexico playing thrash metal music. Now with 20 fingers and 2 acoustic guitars, these two souls can play impeccable rhythmic guitar that takes you to a place where you can dance under a full moon and feel every bit of romance, aggression, and adventure all at once.

Listening to their album, Diablo Rojo, sent a sense of thrill through my veins and a conquistador’s impulse to encounter the world’s riches and hidden mysteries. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned from this pair, it would be DEDICATION. You don’t play flamenco riffs at 100mph by picking up the guitar once a week. What gets your heart racing like the strings beneath Rodrigo & Gabriela's fingers? What passion, talents, and skills are embedded in your bones? Fulfill your ambition and aspire what you may think is far out of reach.

So pop those headphones in while you’re at your 9-5 pace and tune your Pandora to the Rodrigo & Gabriela station. If you’re not hanging onto the edge of your seat during your dull work day, then there is no hope for you hombre.
