LATE NIGHT...RODRIGO Y GABRIELA

Something of a different flavor this late night. Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero, the dueling-acoustic-guitar duo known as simply, Rodrigo y Gabriela, have been through changes. From taking guitar lessons together in Mexico City to busking in Dublin to selling out venues worldwide, without a lead vocalist or the trapping of being commercialized into a big-name music act, the musicians' rise to fame has been utterly unconventional. Their bare-bones, fast-fingered style has sparked nine albums and in 2020 their first ever Grammy win...and still, they keep their act small and to smaller venues. I've loved their music for some time, and recently caught them with the Austin Symphony on the latest Austin City Limits. Very cool two different music styles come together and sound amazing.

Here's a small snippet from Austin City Limits.
