Rodrigo y Gabriela is a musical duo consisting of Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero. They are well-known for playing fast, rhythmic songs with classical guitars. Their last album, a self-titled effort in 2006, entered the Irish albums chart at #1 and included outstanding covers of Metallica's "Orion" and Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". Their new album, 11:11, stays true to the group's distinctive sound, using speed and creative guitar-slapping to generate an illusion of multiple instruments at work, even though there are only two guitars playing. My favorite tracks on the new album are: Santo Domingo, Triveni, and Hora Zero, but the whole album is well-worth a listen. Overall: 89/100.
