Album Description
Rodrigo y Gabriela will be supporting Will Young on his fourthcoming 22 date, Sold Out UK tour. Especially requsted by Will Young himself, this tour can only enhance the rapidly building profile of this excellent duo. Rodrigo y Gabriela arrived in Ireland from Mexico a couple of years ago and have since then built up a huge following bowling audiences over with their virtuoso guitar playing. On their debut album "Re-Foc" they are joined by a host of musicians including Zoe Conway on fiddle, Johnny Daly on double bass and Robbie Harris on percussion. Together they play a lively blend of jazz, world and folk.

Customer Reviews

Re-Foc, re-Genius!
Why have you not already bought this cd? OK you're looking to see how good the reviews are, stop wasting time and buy it NOW.
These two young people are simply stunning, and if you have ever suffered from the slightest amount of pain in your fingers, watch Gabriela's masterclass on youtube! It'll make you wince.

Two Wonderful People
I was lucky enough to see these two when they were starting out, opening in a near-empty nightclub in Dublin, and busking on Dublin's streets. I was blown away by the skill and the heart they demonstrated in their playing, and rememember thinking how unjust it was and how under-appreciated these fantastic muscians were. It gives me such hope that through sheer peserverance and hard work these guys have worked themselves up from obscurity to deserved recognition, and also at how they have kept their warmth, sense of fun, and excitement in their playing.

I don't think that this album does justice to their staggering live perfomances, but I strongly recommend anyone buy it, (in particular if you are a guitarist yourself). It will be enough to convince you to see them live if you get the chance.

How annoying!
This has to be the worst music ever to put on when your trying to concentrate on something else! as soon as it starts i sit back, stare out the window, and listen in awe to two amazing musicians. I only come around again at the end of the song and think "dammit not again! I'll never get this work done." in other words amazing, buy it. in fact buy all their cds!
