Rodrigo y Gabriela

I went ot see Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Rams Head Live Saturday night. It was a great concert, but a little crowded since the place was sold out, and I got there late. It is pretty amazing when a totally instrumental show can sell out a place like Rams Head Live. So, of course, I am posting some of their videos today. Unless you see them you cannot appreciate that all of the music is coming from two acoustic guitars, when it sounds like there is an entire band playing.

Their latest Album is 11:11. Titled this because there are 11 tracks dedicated to 11 different artists who inspire them. Here is a performance of "Hanuman", off ths album.



I usually just include music videos, but in this case I am including the following Tavis Smiley interview that followed the performance in the previous video.



This song, "Diablo Rojo ", is off their first album.



Here is their version of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" with the audience singing the words. They did this the first time I saw them. I am amazed by the number of people who were not born when Pink Floyd broke up, but still know the words to this song.
