Rodrigo Y Gabriela feat; Alex Wilson on Piano

‘Two of the most talented guitarists on the planet’ Sydney Morning Herald
‘Incendiary blend of metal-inspired riffing, jazz dexterity and Latin rhythm’ Telegraph UK

Mexican guitar heroes Rodrigo y Gabriela return to Sydney with their virtuosic mix of speed-metal heroics, Flamencan instrumentals and for the first time, in collaboration with prodigal Latin jazz pianist Alex Wilson. Hailed by critics as ‘one of those acts you have to see to believe’, Rodrigo y Gabriela promise an evening of jaw-dropping musical mastery and mind-boggling genre bending, veering between pin-drop intimacy and rhythmic ecstasy. Theirs is a soundscape that traverses not only the organic musical roots of their Latin heritage but pays joyous homage to their own musical heroes, the likes of Led Zeppelin and Metallica to Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix.

Known to their international legion of fans as Rod y Gab, and earning a cult following where many consider them “guitar gods”, the pair bring their now legendary six string skills coupled with Wilson’s unmatched dexterity on keys to a killer show that will be a breathtaking celebration of their intimate instrumentals right through to their full sonic grandeur.
