They played Cheltenham Jazz festival this year ( a wide definition of jazz in these parts) . Excellent musicians which was obvious throughout, then toward the end they seemed to step up a gear.  Clearly really enjoying themselves, whole room up and dancing ( an afternoon slot as well)  Truly a great show.



Very jealous!  I've managed the Brecon jazz festival a  couple of times, but never managed Cheltenham.

Nice to see Cheltenham in the news!  I lived there most of my adult life until I moved in October last year ... I've been to the "jazz" festival many times (yes, it's a very loose definition of jazz).  I'd thoroughly recommned the free stage in Montpellier Gardens.

This is awesome, but I can't help but hear Britney's Oops I Did it Again...   Listen, you'll hear it too.

RIP Dad, and Uncle Bud. Both loved RyG
I sent Dad a link and he forwarded it Unc Bud, who went and bought everything they had out.

Took a friend of mine to see them in Glasgow in 2019. He was not expecting to be very impressed, having not heard anything from them before apart from his 5 minute research before the gig.  He came away having absolutely loved it, claiming 'that was one of theee best gigs I've been to'! They have a great story and great talent.

when you listen to these two keep one thing in mind: Rodrigo is very good at what he does, but Gabriela Quintero is a goddess.

Why you chose me from a not-so-small pool of those who obviously dislike them?

Because I am German...? 



You have freedom of speech here,  Even when your speech is what some might consider subjectively bad.  I disagree with you. This is clearly a 10. But there are other genres that I do similarly do not care for.  Say what you like.   Others will say you are wrong.

Your post was not shadow banned was it?  Were you kicked from RP?  No.

What is the only American remedy to bad speech?  Better speech!

If R&G were played in elevators I wouldn't get off at any floor, and I and the other lift occupants would be dancing like crazy. Say what you like about this pair, but their music sure has zip and energy and could no way be considered to be background muzak. I'd love to see this pair live, I really would. The musicianship and brio is just extraordinary. 9 from the Nottingham jury.

 

You might check with Romeotuma. Much experience w/ hotels, I hear, so perhaps the same w/ elevators? Bound to be one somewhere playing this.

The duo I'd like most to see in an intimate setting, although I probably blew any hope years ago, sadly. Love their output.

Saw the live a few years ago in NYC; amazing band, amazing song.  I'm so glad Bill likes RyG :)

It sounds to me a bit more 'con' than 'brio' to me, but if thy're your cup of rioja, they used to live in Ireland (may still do so) but they are on  an extended break due to injuries to Gabriela caused by her percussion on the guitar.

They would need to serve food in the elevator, too, or we would all collapse! You definitely need to see them live, they are unbelievable.

Way too much of this bombastic, one-dimensional outfit here on RP.  There are dozens of great flamenco / Spanish guitar recordings out there if you really want to touch on that genre.   Of course few of them are young hipster couples, but we are about the music, right?

Dunno, I believe their genre has a very limited sound, and however good this song might be, it sounds like I've heard a lot of times before.

I saw them in concert in Mpls in October in a small theatre. They are more impressive in person than I would have thought. They really enjoy playing in front of an audience and put on a great show.

  I agree. Truly excellent jump from ELO (Fire on High). And to ELO from Coldplay (Viva la Vida).  But this one's the first one I really like out of the three (bumped it to a 9)

I love Rodrigo and Gabriela! They are excellent performers, and I love their flamenco-styled arrangements..

Rodrigo is very creative, and Gabriela is just an amazing rhythm guitarist.. she drums out a rhythm and strums at the same time.. sounds great, too. 8 from me {#Bananajam} {#Bananajam}
