i suspect i may be climbing on a bandwagon here but being a bit out of touch with these things of late maybe these guys aren’t as popular as i think they could be…expect to hear this in a slightly groovy cafe near you soon
Rodrigo y Gabriela are a couple of Mexican ex-metalheads who play fast, clear, acoustic guitar instrumentals (including percussion played on the same guitars) which sounds really quite good.
i don’t know if it’s just the power of sub-conscious suggestion and half baked cliche driven by the knowledge that these guys are Mexican but it seems to me like it would be an ideal soundtrack for drinking beer on a hot summer’s saturday afternoon
if only they had resisted the urge to include a cover of stairway to heaven…
