Its always fun when you discover new music. My latest discovery of Rodrigo Y Gabriela came last Friday night when this duo were performing live on the Jimmy Kimmel show. While I'm not the biggest fan of Latin Music, I do love the sounds of Flamenco and Spanish/Folk Guitar, and these two cats play it with fire. After seeing them jam to their song "Diablo Rojo" on Jimmy's show, I became an instant fan of, so naturally I had to find out more about them. My research on Rodrigo Y Gabriela lead me to discover that they are originally from Mexico but have relocated to Ireland and have a large fan base in Europe. But what really surprised me was that they are big Metal fans. So much so that not only did they included a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" on their self titled album, but they also did a killer cover of Metallica's"Orion". Have a listen and Enjoy!
