Rodrigo y Gabriela

On April 5, 2027 at the Radiant-Bellevue in Caluire-et-Cuire, Rodrigo y Gabriela return in tight formation: two guitars, no frills, the full intensity of their acoustic playing. The Mexican duo, Grammy winner for Mettavolution, presents OurHome, a self-produced album recorded in Tokyo that blends a declaration of affection for Japan with an intimate reflection on the place one builds for oneself. Here the strings snap, alternating clean melodies and percussive rhythms, between a flamenco heritage and rock/metal energy, with the acoustic textures that have become their signature.

On stage, Rodrigo Sánchez unfolds melodic lines and taut solos while Gabriela Quintero drives rhythmic patterns, almost like a drum being played directly on the guitar’s body. Twenty years on the road have honed this wordless dialogue, born in Dublin’s pubs and streets, carried to major stages and enriched by cinematic forays. On record, OurHome explores denser acoustic timbres and occasionally features guests like Marty Friedman or Hiromi; live, the duo concentrates on the essentials: an instrumental set that progresses through tensions, breaths and surges of energy, balancing introspection with a collective pulse.
