Rodrigo y Gabriela – 11:11 album on ATO Records

Rodrigo y Gabriela released their album 11:11 on ATO Records September 6th. They are thrilled with the positive reaction to their new record.

The Washington Post has lauded the “clarity of Sanchez’s finger-burning quests and Quintero’s urgent percussive technique.” Mojo proclaimed 11:11 “an awesome thing in which every trick in the hard-rock manual is applied to the duo’s Latin rhythms and acoustic wizardry.” “With Flying Fingers and Callouses that could probably withstand a blowtorch,” writes Paste, “Rodrigo y Gabriela offer today’s best exposition of the pyrotechnic, fusion-oriented edge of Spanish style guitar playing.”

They’ve been impressing on the road as well. Upcoming US Dates below.

“First timers, like this reviewer, were left with jaws agape. There is nothing to compare this to.”

“Don’t think this was some sort of unplugged metal-cover show. Rodrigo Sánchez and Gabriela Quintero may be acoustic, but, like a symphony, they fill every space with wicked speedy fretwork, guitar slapping rhythms and deeply plumbed, heavily adorned riffs, creating an absolutely unique sound.

With their noses centimeters from the necks of their guitars, the hunched over, surgically precise pair exudes all the dark gravitas of a metal band. They definitely have metal in their blood. And they must have metallic fingertips, especially Gabriela, who plays vicious rhythms sans pick.”
