Real Name: Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero Rodrigo Rodrigo and Gabriela are a Mexican musical duo that specialize in rhythmic, fast acoustic guitars. Rodrigo Sanchez is the lead guitarist and Gabriela Quintero plays rhythm guitar. They met in Mexico City when they were both playing in a thrash band called “Tierra Acida”. They became frustrated by the limitations of the local music scene and decided to move to Europe where they received a lot of acclaim. After hearing that Dublin was a great place for musicians, they decided to settle in Dublin. They were able to perfect their sound by playing live gigs in pubs and busking on Grafton Street or Temple Bar. Damien Rice approached them about supporting the Irish music festival Oxegen. They toured extensively at festivals across the United Kingdom and abroad in 2005. Foc, reFoc and Live in Manchester and Dublin were the six albums released by the duo.
