Biografía de Rodrigo y Gabriela

Rodrigo y Gabriela - aka Rodrigo Sanchez (born 1974) and Gabriela Quintero (born 1973) - are an acoustic duo from Mexico City.

They were both brought up listening to jazz, rock music, heavy metal and Metallica through their parent's influences. The pair first met when they were 15 in Mexico, after connecting over their taste of music and they later went on to become an item, musically and romantically.

After no success with popularity in Mexico City, the duo moved to Ireland in 1999 even though they couldn't speak any English at the time.

After some growing success having met other artists in Dublin, the duo re-recorded some of their songs on their demo in 2002 with friends. The album was released on Rubyworks Records.

Their album "Rodrigo y Gabriela" made it to number one on the Irish Albums Chart, even beating the Arctic Monkeys and Johnny Cash. It went on to be released internationally in 2006.

Since then in 2010 they headlined on the West Holts stage at Glastonbury and played at T In The Park. In 2011 they recorded music with Hans Zimmer for the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides movie.

In January 2012 they released "Area 52", their first album which included other musicians backing them. By 2014 they had released their fourth studio album called "9 Dead Alive".

They have toured internationally throughout their career and even performed for President Barack Obama at The White House.

Críticas en vivo

There are few musical acts that exist alongside relationships that work – ABBA and Fleetwood Mac are famously disastrous examples – and even fewer that remain after breakups. However, Mexican twosome Rodrigo Y Gabriela, who were together up until 2012, are thriving despite the conscious uncoupling. The renowned globetrotters recently described the lifted burden to The Independent: “Finally we don't have the bad manners of a couple and we respect each other more, and I think that really we were always attracted to something more powerful between us than [our relationship]: music.” Much of their music (almost all of it) is instrumental. Blending classical guitar, flamenco, Latin, folk, heavy metal, rumba and pop, the duo are just as at home soundtracking blockbuster movies as they are dominating stages. “Tamacun”, “Ixtapa” and “Diablo Rojo” are live favourites, and watching the pair strum away is as exciting as the music itself. The durability of their digits and palms is ridonkulous, and the speed of which they perform is unparalleled magic – never underestimate the sheer joy of simply letting yourself soak in the aura of their shows.
During their recent Glastonbury set, Rodrigo (Sanchez) demonstrated his singing voice, during a rousing sun-baked rendition of Radiohead's “Creep”; their influences are eclectic, and it shows in every intriguing note they play.
