Rodrigo y Gabriela have reinvented the rules for acoustic guitar. They have reshaped its landscape using lightning speed, dynamic range and irresistible rhythmic invention. Constantly refining and redefining their craft, 2006 saw them rising to meet the challenge of taking their craft to a wider audience and greater artistic acclaim.

Part of the appeal of the R y G sound stems from their background in Mexico, which is at the heart of their success story. First meeting in their late teens in Terra Acida, a Mexican thrash metal band, they enjoyed some local success before a combination of frustration with the insular domestic rock scene and an overwhelming sense of wanderlust brought them to Europe.

"The songs are breathless, built on sublime reels up and down the frets . Rodrigo and Gabriela are free and easy with their own folk roots:  they'll take on anything."- BBC
