How did two Mexican-born heavy-metal enthusiasts end up at the top of the Irish charts? The story begins back in their homeland, where Rodrigo Sanchez (lead guitar) and Gabriela Quintero (rhythm and guitar-top hand percussion) met as teenagers. Following years of fruitless struggle, they settled in Dublin, working as street entertainers, eventually wandering as far afield as Denmark and Spain. But over time, their virtuoso duo-guitar instrumentals garnered them a following, which in turn led to indoor engagements where they no longer had to freeze their hands off. And no wonder -- their eruptive mixture of Central and South American folkways, with its propulsive rock rhythms, plus grooves reminiscent of The Gipsy Kings' crowd-pleasing Catalan rumbas, is incredibly infectious. Yes, their frisky yet spot-on covers of "Stairway To Heaven" and "Orion" may goad some listeners into purchasing the album, but believe it or not, the original tunes are even more mesmerizing. "Ixapa," in which the pair are joined by noted Hungarian Roma (Gypsy) fiddler Roby Lakatos, has a wicked, pan-European swing, while the impossibly fleet "Juan Loco" should delight all comers -- once they catch their collective breaths! Produced by John Leckie (Radiohead, The Stone Roses, Muse), the USA release includes a DVD containing interviews, live performances and other extras. --Christina Roden

Album Description

The sleeve photo of a crocodile's eye with a faint image of Rodrigo and Gabriela superimposed, suits the artists' desire for something which didn't shout "Mexican guitarists" or "Couples." "It reminded us of Tamacun, the famous Mexican eccentric who is in Ixtapa where we lived for a while".

Tamacun -"Tamacun's message is to teach kids to respect nature." He handles crocodiles, and tourists come to photograph him.

Diablo Rojo - Inspired by a wild rollercoaster called 'Red Devil' at a theme park in Copenhagen, Denmark. Three rides in a row, each.

Viking Man - Another Danish inspired piece. The Viking Man was a homeless guy who encouraged Rod & Gab to tough it out on the streets, busking in minus zero conditions at Christmastime. John Leckie adds radio static.

Satori - Experiencing self doubt shortly after arriving in Ireland, Rodrigo y Gabriela were at a low ebb. No money, poor English and a deep sense of uncertainty. Only an unshakeable faith in perseverance kept them going. Satori describes the Zen - like moment of enlightenment they felt when they came through the storm.

Ixtapa - "Ixtapa is a very beautiful, very Mexican town." Roby Lakatos' wildly soaring violin solo is a perfect counterpoint to the melodic and percussive guitars.

Stairway to Heaven - "Ixtapa was our very own Stairway to Heaven!" Rod & Gab's take was initially inspired by Stanley Jordan's interpretation of the Led Zep warhorse. Growing from snippets in their live show, their unique version is at once both respectful and innovative.

Orion - This epic reworking of the Metallica song is the second time Rodrigo y Gabriela have covered Messrs Hetfield, Ulrich & Co: "A tribute to the style of music we love, it's what kept us playing the guitar through all those Spinal Tap years"

Juan Loco - The first attempt at recording this album in Mexico in Summer 2005 resulted in three weeks of sunbathing, beer drinking and power cuts. Enter Mr John Leckie, legendary producer of Radiohead, The Stone Roses and Muse, to name but a few; to midwife Rod & Gab's musical vision into what you hear today. 'Juan Loco' ('Mad John') is their Mexican nickname for Mr Leckie.

PPA - "The first P of PPA stands for Pinche, a Mexican term meaning f**king asshole. This is for all the people in the music business who think they know what's going on but actually don't have a clue".

Exceptional.......2007-07-12

Loved every moment on this CD. Acoustic tunes played with tremendous feeling. Great Stuff.

good flamenco guitar music.......2007-07-11

I had recently fell in love with flamenco dancing and music after seeing a performance in Santa Fe, NM. This cd is all music, there are no vocals, but it is very enjoyable. It runs the gamut from high energy spanish guitar to quieter guitar melodies. I am really enjoying it.

Gets the kid grooving.......2007-07-07

I'm submitting this review on behalf of my 7-year-old autistic son. He's been playing this disk over and over since we first got it a month ago. It just lights the little guy up and gets him grooving, so here's his 5 stars for it. (By the way, I'd give it a 5 myself).

TERRIFIC!.......2007-07-05

I'd been looking a long time for a great instrumental guitar cd before I saw these guys on Jay Leno. They are fantastic musicians and I can't wait until their next album

I'll go 4.5 stars.......2007-06-30

If you at all like acoustic guitar, buy this disk! The pair is simply amazing. Song-by-song, their work is unbelievable. The only thing that held me back from 5 stars is that it gets a bit repetitive. But when put in a tray with a few other disks and set to random, this CD is outstanding! The DVD is short, but great. They are really fun to see live. At $11, it is a steal!

Suprising.......2007-06-15

After purchasing many compilations I began to fear that I would never again hear a cd as good as my first (Siddharta Vol. 1) but this cd woke me up. Some songs are better than others. "Siempre Me Quedará" for example is one of the best songs I've heard in months and all are consistantly good except for one song called "Carmela" which sounds like something my grandparents would dance to.
When I realised that Putumayo made many discs with many different themes without sticking to 1 theme I assumed it would be commercial and weak, but the disc outdoes most buddha bar or hotel costes compilations!
A great Listen, I highly recommend it.

Speak Spanish or Not, This CD is Great.......2007-04-10

I am a Spanish student and am nearly fluent. It's fun to listen to this CD and know what they're saying, but even if you can't speak a word of Spanish, this CD will retain a special place on your shelf (or a permanent place in your CD player). The music varies from tangoes to salsas to mambos. I especially enjoy listening to this CD in my car because... it's just plain fun to listen to.

Smooth and Sexie.......2007-03-13

All the cuts offer a tasty bite of Latin flavor. Latin Jazz and Euro fusion. Great listening music or as a back drop to accent a dinner party. The music is captivating, enchanting, and just a pleasure to listen. This is the kind of music that goes great with a sunset, wine, and a friend.

I just bought this CD at the airport in San Jose, Costa Rica. It was playing over the loudspeaker in the gift shop and I was hooked. Happy to help the local economy but I could have saved some $ if I had bought it on amazon. This is an amazing CD. Not only is the music great, but you can also improve your Spanish by listening to the lyrics. If you like groovy Latin music, buy this now.

Putumayo.......2006-12-15

PUTUMAYO is awesome music, a real eye opener. Similar in many ways to the BUDDHA BAR approach but different flavour.

Anyone who enjoys this cd may want to try MANU CHAO (proxima estacion ... ESPERANZA) for another trully great Latin American music.

This is definitely one of the easiest CD's to pop in, along with Nuevo Latino .... anytime anywhere ... just makes you enjoy the moment so much more.

Misleading CD.......2005-01-15

Only the first half of this CD is Carlos Montoya on guitar, the other half is Mario Escudero on Guitar (which is why tracks 10-19 sound so much better!)... I'm glad I realized this early on, because enjoying the 2nd half of the CD was giving Montoya too much credit, he's not that good. Only 3 stars because the first half is a 1 and the second half a 5.

Stark and smoky.......2001-08-20

If you like your flamenco in a smoky bar late at night, then this is great. The first half is just solo Carlos Montoya -- complete with buzzing strings, etc. The second half is more varied with some singing and castenets. This is first-layer flamenco - no producer polish added. Not a lot of information about the players or music itself is included.

The untied soul of Spanish Flamenco.......2000-08-06

Carlos Montoya brushes his heart along the strands of his instrument in this 19 track CD. I've listened to it for years and would gladly plunk down another fifteen clams for a new one if I ever lost it. His rifts through Variacones Por Tango set one's heart thumping, and his soulful pining in Cante Minero is enough to woo any corazon (heart). Noche Granadina and Zapateado De Las Campanas tell the true talent of this master as he unleashes his mastery and lets rhythym run wild. If you want pure Flamenco guitar, The Art Of Flamenco is it.

Even their harshest critics can't accuse Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops of not trying to have fun. On The Latin Album, they tackle a repertoire that includes big-band favorites and compositions from Piazzolla, Perez Prado, and Aaron Copland (in the form of El Salon México). These are mostly dance tunes, filled with crashing percussion, Latin rhythms, and familiar melodies. To their credit, the Boston Pops get this fiesta right about half the time--opening with Alberto Ginastera's "Malambo," they set a furious, rollicking mood that's heavy on the percussion. They shine on Jacob Gade's "Jalousie" (an early hit for Lockhart predecessor Arthur Fiedler) and on the more atmospheric "Mi Cambio" by César Villalobos. Unfortunately, their arrangement of Piazzolla's "Oblivion" is about as subtle as the music found in soap operas (and about as exciting) and "Perfidia" is a disappointment, "smooth" but hardly sultry. Still, the Pops know how to play their brassy, rhythmic showpieces, and the recorded sound here is excellent. --Jason Verlinde

Good background music, but a little tame for latin.......2002-08-19

I expected a little more action. I tend to think of mariachi and I got village pan pipes.

Don't Bother!.......2002-04-15

I bought this CD at a stoop sale for one dollar, and then sold it at a stoop sale for a dollar or two. I am very glad that I did not pay full price (or even half price) for it. I did not think it was a bad CD, but a bland CD. Every track on it I have heard performed better elsewhere. They are like Muzak versions of great Latin works.

A mood-lifter!.......2001-03-29

Keith Lockhart, the Boston Pops, and the guest artists have a hit in this one! I can almost forget the snow outside when I listen to it. I loved "Jalousie!" And Mariachi Cobre stands out on "Granada" and "Son de la Negra." Five star tracks, both of them, with Steve Carrillo's great vocal work on "Granada" and the spirited interchange between the Pops and Mariachi Cobre's brass sections in "Son de la Negra." Purists may object to the combination of Latin music and an orchestra, but I think it's a treat!

A great CD from the Pops.......2001-02-07

The Boston Pops due a great job on this CD. I really like Batuque. If you are looking for a great CD that will really make you dance this is the one.

Rather Unpleasant.......2006-12-14

This is surely one of those recordings that someone hoped to make money off of, that wasn't sanctioned by the Segovia estate. First of all, it's a lousy live recording and Segovia wasn't playing his best this night. Second, there is such intrusive coughing and hacking from the audience it makes one cringe. I'm sure the maestro would have been horrified to find himself sharing disc space with a flamenco recording, as he felt he had spent his life redeeming the guitar from its status as "only a flamenco instrument." Don't get me wrong, flamenco done well is beautiful, and Carlos Montoya is a brilliant guitarist, but his part of the recording sounds as if it was done using the cheapest mic possible and played on a cardboard guitar. The only thing keeping this recording from being one star is the genius of two brilliant guitarists managing to peek out from a rotten recording.

Sloppy, Quick & Easy.......2001-10-17

This seems like a CD in which they found some old recordings of Segovia and Montoya and decided to put them on a CD titled "Spanish Guitar Magic". Half of the CD is Segovia live and the other is Montoya. I could get through the Segovia half without too much pain. There just seems to be something lacking in the performance and sound quality. Although one song that stood out on the CD is "Sevilla" by Albeniz. The Montoya half is so sloppy that even my girlfriend (who doesn't know what a classical guitar is) noticed it.

Coughing, clapping spoils listening pleasure........2000-06-30

Do you want to compare the old and the new in the Spanish Guitar recordings? Then buy this. For me as a non-playing lover of classical guitar, this recording of the master Andres Segovia was unfortunately a disappointment. The master recording was made live somewhere. I could hardly believe my ears when I heard a faint coughing in the second cut, which later on turned into several fits of persistent coughing. Perhaps even more bothersome is the loud burst of applause which the editors deemed fit to include in the recording. This is muted after a few seconds, but not before several silly loud cat-calls of appreciation is heard. This is to be expected in a live concert, but not on a modern CD. Also, the recording certainly does not really reflect Segovia's genius. It seems flat and sharp. As a complete contrast the latter half by Carlos Montoya is melodious and rounded and an absolute pleasure, but the irritation remains. You should certainly not put your player on random play - you will be frightened out of your wits by this sudden gush of clapping. But rather spend your money on other excellent compendiums available, such as 25 Guitar Favorites, or Guitar Favorites from Point Classics. In the Art of the Guitar, the first half is also devoted to Segovia, but fair warning is given on the cover. The clapping was excluded and cough remedies dispensed. The second half has John Williams playing Bach in his inimitable style. Why the 3 stars? For Montoya and the memory of Segovia.

It's hard to put a finger on the mercurial muse of Spanish chanteuse Martirio and guitarist/producer Raúl Rodríguez on Flor de Piel, her second domestic effort for Sunnyside. Much like they did on her exceptional debut, Mucho Corazon, the two (and their crew of backing musicians) make musical ports of call to Spanish and Portuguese cities throughout Europe and the America and bring a bouquet of influences onboard. Thus flamenco gracefully mixes with son, fado with bolero, café music of the city with traditional music of the provinces. Martirio navigates these shifting waters with grace, using her husky voice and Rodríguez's guitar work as the unifying force within the music. Highlights include the clever jazzy styling on "Alma Mía," the stripped-down and plaintive closer "Las Simples Cosas," and the fiery flamenco "Si Me Pudieras Querer." While the field of well-turned-out torch singers is a crowded one, here's a singer that deserves some time in the spotlight. --Tad Hendrickson

High Octane, Passionate Cello.......2007-04-20

I love this CD. I found it when doing a search for another CD with Gnomentanz. The Janos Starker CD with all the Popper is great, too. Starker was one of Maria Kliegel's teachers so maybe that is one reason why she plays so flawlessly. I think these songs sound beautiful because she also plays them so expressively. The Manuel De Falla is firey and the Rachmaninoff is sultry. She uses her bow to create a rasgueado effect, along with pizzicato on the piece called "Flamenco". I had not heard this kind of bowing before. It's really effective at evoking a guitar-like quality, but then the beautiful lyrical sustain of the bow in the legato parts just takes all that to a supreme level. Beyond just the musical beauty of this CD the technique makes it 5 stars.
