Late one evening about two years ago, I was laying in bed trying to sleep. The TV was on one of the late night show and I was almost asleep when I heard something magnificent assault my drowsiness. I shot up in bed and proceeding to watch the most exhilirating musical performance of my life. After it was over, I sat there with my mouth gaping, wondering what the hell just happened. What had happened was Rodrigo y Gabriela. I went out as soon as I could and got their self titled debut "Rodrigo y Gabriela" and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. The only disappointing part is that you don't get to watch them play every song because that is what is so amazing (see video below).
Their new album "11:11" is just as wonderful. I don't know if you can say it's better or worse because there is nothing like the two of them and every piece of music they play is like a drug. It is an understatement to say that they are good, it is an understatement to say that they are great. They are one of a kind. And worth some consideration if you call yourself a music lover.
