Blending world music, jazz and metal, the twosome’s captivating sound defies easy classification, fusing genres and styles. One thing is unarguable, however: Rodrigo y Gabriela put on a damn fine live show that demonstrates their instrumental virtuosity and fiery energy – as those who caught their exhilarating Glastonbury performance this year will attest.
Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero have been playing together for more than 15 years, having found kindred musical spirits in one another as young thrash metal fans in their native Mexico City. Fast-forward to 2014 and they’ve sold in excess of 1.2 million albums, created scores for blockbuster movies and played sold-out gigs around the globe.
Catch them doing their thing on 1 December, tickets from £27.50, starts 7.30pm.
