Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero’s journey is the stuff of legend. After the dissolution of their first band, they took their acoustic guitars and began busking on Dublin’s Grafton Street. Their extraordinary talent caught the attention of singer-songwriter Damien Rice, who invited them to open for him on tour. Since then, Rodrigo y Gabriela have released a string of celebrated albums, including Re-Foc (2002), Area 52 (a 2012 effort made with a Cuban orchestra), 9 Dead Alive (a 2014 release that spotlighted their more rock-leaning sensibilities) andMettavolution (2020), which earned them a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. Their genre-defying sound has made them a global sensation.
The duo’s live performances are renowned for their intensity, musical precision, and sheer joy. Over the years, they have graced some of the world’s most prestigious stages, including the White House, London’s Royal Albert Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and the Glastonbury Festival. Their ability to connect deeply with audiences has solidified their reputation as one of the most exciting and dynamic live acts in the world.
