And if you’re asking yourselves why we’re reporting on a flamenco duo’s tour, it’s because Rodrigo y Gabriela are metal as hell. The album they’re playing even has two covers everyone reading this website know – Led Zeppelin‘s “Stairway to Heaven” and Metallica‘s “Orion”.

Co-produced by Rodrigo y Gabriela with legendary British producer John Leckie (Radiohead, The Stone Roses, XTC, etc.), Rodrigo y Gabriela debuted at #1 upon its release in the duo’s adopted home of Ireland – the first instrumental album to ever go straight to the top of the Irish album charts.
Rodrigo y Gabriela swiftly found an audience around the world, bursting onto the upper half of the Billboard Top 200 in the US and hitting #3 on Billboard Heatseekers Albums and #4 on Billboard World Albums thanks to originals like “Tamacún” (which was featured in the pilot episode of Breaking Bad) and “Ixtapa”, as well as the aforementioned covers.
