Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Two Wonderful People, 20 Nov 2006
By NShufti (Madrid) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars How annoying!, 28 April 2006
By Mr. G. Simpson (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars For every discernable music appreciator, 16 Sep 2005
If a new listener, Diem will probably capture you first, as it is quite easy to catch the hooks.

But every track deserves its place on this album, with the instrumentation and skill up to top knotch these Mexicans are truly blessed with fast fingers.

Of course half the compositons are based around Metallica's well balanced riffs, yet it's what the two guitarists take from that band to make their own is the key factor. I have heard Rodrigo and Gabriela play Wish You Were Here, Stairway to Heaven, One, Orion etc, yet how they turn these songs to their style is amazing.

Sangre y Ritmo is infected with superbly mixed chords, while Foc is their trademark track; featuring frenetic and fast guitar playing - described by the pair as "crazy."

Even if you listen to this album and say "It's too Spanish," give it another while to grow on you and make you realise that really, there is no genre available yet to describe the music. It isn't Spanish, it isn't flamenco, it isn't rock, it isn't jazz, it isn't post anything, and it hasn't been done before.

They also can't read muisc!

And I've seen them 4 times!

The "most frenetic guitar playing you are ver likely to hear" review is obviously just a few quotes from some of Rodrigo and Gabriela's press reviews. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Most frenetic guitar playing you are ever likely to hear.
They're not jazz guitarists, yet they do play jazz standards. They're not rock guitarists, yet they can play heavy metal, and they're not Mexican folk or flamenco guitarists,... Read more
