Rodrigo & Gabriela

Just saw this beautiful creation by 2 great artists who were once up on a time RoCk StArS. Yes they are Rodrigo & Gabriela who started creating a sort of flamingo, Al Mariachi style songs all by guitars. They were part of same rock band and started playing this sort of music part-time.  Later seeing the interest in people they started picking songs by kinds of Led Zeppelin, Metallica etc and added their spanish flamingo style into them, creating this wonderful fusion.

Today they have their own albums and fan followings. They were fillers before for other bands during recess, but now entire rock-concert-goers are flocking to their shows. Seeing the fan following YAMAHA created special guitars for them with transducers and sound sensors, so that they can create that special experience to their fans and also make it sound so crisp and clear.

Interesting part is in this duo band lady is the percussionist and she does it with such an ease and involvement. While the guy could deliver that accurate tune without a vocalist, bass guitars and other crew. Its an amazing band rocking the world. A cute video of one of their classics Tamacum.
