 Mexican couple November 6, 2004
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
This is the debut album of Mexican couple Rodrigo y Gabriella.They are accomplished acoustic guitar players and really explode in this album.They have been residing in Ireland for 5 years now.Their second album is a live perfromance album.Unfortunately it is not available on amazon at the moment.On this one they explain their trash metal roots in Mexico and of Metallica and other bands like slayer and megadeth`s influence on them.Don`t get me wrong their music is very latin american sounding and their guitar playing is incredible.I saw them play live in Limerick and they were breath taking.I would highly recommend this debut to anyone.Also look out for their second album Live in Manchester and Dublin which features 2 live versions of Metallica ONE and clips of the white stripes thrown in for good measure.But on this album all music is written by them.

All I can say is that this duo has the most amazing drive, I have ever heard in music. My dad just brought back their live album from Dublin to the states. It is amazing to hear the two artists from Mexico City shredding those guitars. The live album perfectly integrates cool driving riffs, with spanish guitar progressions. The artists started out busking around Dublin and eventually got a record deal. We must get a big following in the states. Buy this album.
Newer work is better July 2, 2007

This was an early disc by the duo and it doesn't sound quite as good as the newer studio or live album. Both of the newer works are available in the states now, so unless you are major fan, this disc is safe to skip. It seems like some of the songs overlap with later work (under different song titles?). There is a bit of a stronger spanish/mexican flavor in some parts of this, which some people might find interesting.
I recently saw them in concert and had a great time. Well worth it if they come near you (US Summer 2007).

Awesome classical guitar music. Heard it first in "Sprouts" in S. Lake Tahoe, CA. Blended in very nicely with this bistro atmosphere.
What a great sound August 24, 2008

I find this music so refreshing because it's unlike anything else I've ever heard. I can't get it out of my head it's so addictive. If you like rock, Spanish guitar, or just good music, you'll appreciate the talent this duo brings to the table. Their other album is excellent as well.
