Sunday, July 2nd 2023 7:00pm
Rodrigo y Gabriela grew up listening to an eclectic blend of classic rock, heavy metal, and flamenco, a rare alchemy of influences that still shapes their music today. Soon after the breakup of their previous band, the two musicians found themselves busking on Dublin's Grafton Street, where they met Irish singer/songwriter Damien Rice, who invited them to open for him at an early headline gig. Rodrigo y Gabriela soon achieved acclaim for their outstanding live presentation and released their first full-length album, re-Foc, in 2002.
Along with 8 additional acclaimed and kaleidoscopic albums over the years, including Area 52 (a 2012 effort made with a Cuban orchestra), 9 Dead Alive (a 2014 release that highlighted their more rock-leaning sensibilities), and the 2020 Grammy winning Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, Mettavolution, the duo has cemented their status as a globally renowned live act. In Between Thoughts...A New World, inspired by Advaita Vedanta, will be released in 2023.
