Rodrigo y Gabriela ([roˈð̞ɾi.ɣ̞o i ɡaˈβ̞ɾje.la], "Rodrigo and Gabriela") are a Mexican acoustic guitar duo featuring musicians Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero.[1][2] Residing in Mexico City, they began their career in Dublin, Ireland, where they played for the first eight-years of their career as a duo.[3] Their music consists largely of instrumental duets on the flamenco guitar, with a musical style influenced by a number of genres including nuevo flamenco, rock, and heavy metal.
They have released numerous studio albums, including Mettavolution in 2020 which won a Grammy Award for the Best Contemporary Instrumental Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.[4] Their most recent album, In Between Thoughts…A New World, was released in April 2023.[5] They have toured internationally and performed at venues that include Red Rocks Amphitheatre and for President Barack Obama at The White House.
