Rodrigo y Gabriela

The Mexican acoustic guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela perform in Barcelona to present their instrumental repertoire.

Rodrigo y Gabriela is a guitar duo originally from Mexico, founded in the year 2000. The project specialises in performing styles such as rumba flamenca, combining elements of acoustic music with influences from rock and instrumental heavy metal. Their recording career began with the release of their debut album, Foc, issued in 2001 on the ATO Records label, which has been followed by numerous studio works and live albums recorded over the years on various international tours.

Live, the duo perform their repertoire on stage using only two acoustic guitars, without a backing band or vocals, basing their performance on percussion upon the bodies of the instruments and the speed of execution. This instrumental approach is well-suited for fans of virtuoso guitar and acoustic rock who attend mid-sized concert venues to hear live music.

The performance takes place at La 2, a venue located in Barcelona that regularly hosts concerts and shows of various musical styles. The attending public finds this venue to be oriented towards live music, with a layout that allows them to closely follow the artists' technical performance throughout the course of the repertoire planned for this stop in Barcelona.
