Live Review: Rodrigo y Gabriela and C.U.B.A. @ Paramount Theatre 4/3

By JB Bonifacio | Published: April 9, 2012

Echoes from one of my favorite concerts in recent memory, Rodrigo y Gabriela‘s 2007 Halloween gig at the Paramount Theatre, still populate my subconscious. Hundreds of collective minds were blown that night. Halloween costumes undulated in and out of focus. Rodrigo’s lightning-fast guitar picking surged. Gabriela’s booming guitar percussion popped.

SeeingRead more...

It seems unlikely: a pair of classical guitarists play completely instrumental sets selling out theater- and stadium-sized venues across both the country and the world to indie hipsters, classical enthusiasts and metalheads alike.
