Rodrigo Y Gabriela

29.1.07

|


I have shown myself to be many things on this blog. The one thing that most people who read my blog don't know about me is that I am a musician. I have been playing guitar for about 10 years and bass for about 4. I played in a band (Thus Far).

Lately though I have slipped up and managed to get lost in a world of appreciation of music instead of admiration for the skill of playing it yourself. That is until I went out and bought Rodrigo Y Gabriela on CD. Their sound could be mistaken for sultry Spanish guitar when in fact these two are Dublin-based Mexicans who really can.

Their fingers are nimble, theirs writing skills are mind-blowing and their ability to create a hummable tune within a wall of guitar is phenomenal. Please do yourself and your music taste a favour and buy this CD. Do not download it, these guys are not mainstream, are not rich and could use your support. For some video clips of them performing visit their website.

I am now playing my guitar again. Life maybe isn't that bad.
