Re: Rodrigo y Gabriela
Hey man, I've heard of this but never heard any of the music! I'm not an instrumental guy in general but this caught my attention. I especially like Atman with the spanish guitars going into a metal vibe by the end.
Diablo Rojo is insane with the duel guitars, watching their fingers move, slapping against the guitar in rhythm! I really dig it! Thanks for posting this!

Re: Rodrigo y Gabriela
Yeah this is really awesome. Some of the best spanish guitar I've heard. The slapping, the headbanging, the talent. All top notch. All three of these tracks have an exciting feel about them. I'm hooked! Thanks for posting this!!!

It contains covers such as the famous "stairway to heaven" from Led Zeppelin and "Orion" from Metallica.
