<p>Rodrigo y Gabriela are a Mexican musical duo specializing in playing fast, rhythmic acoustic guitars. The duo met in Mexico City while playing in a thrash metal band and later moved to Europe where they gained considerable acclaim. They settled in Dublin, Ireland, where they honed their sound by performing live gigs and busking on the streets. Their breakthrough came when they were approached by Damien Rice to support the Irish music festival Oxegen. Since then, they have toured extensively across the United Kingdom and beyond.</p>

Mexican acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela are back with their first vinyl release of the new decade. Having successfully launched their ‘Music From The Field’ programme last year, the instrumental rockers are now ready to share the fruits of their online music sessions with a wider audience. The first taste of the <i>Jazz EP</i> is a delicious cover of ‘Street Fighter Mas’ by tenor sax giant Kamasi Washington. Rod says: “It was a no-brainer for us. Kamasi is one of the most exciting jazz musicians out there and ‘Street Fighter Mas’ has such a good groove.” Gab adds: “It was a challenge for us, recreating the instruments with just two guitars, so it became a kind of game. We had to change a few bits and pieces, especially in how I interpreted the drum parts on my guitar.” The EP also features covers of ‘Lingus’ by Snarky Puppy and ‘Oblivion’ by Astor Piazzolla, with a guest appearance by flamenco-guitar legend Vicente Amigo.
