Rodrigo and Gabriela are two Mexican heavy-metal guitarists who turned acoustic and relocated to Ireland where they virtually stopped traffic busking on the streets of Dublin.

The finesse, speed and precision of their guitar work is both fascinating and enthralling, drawing from a repertoire of original compositions and covers influenced by bands as diverse as Metallica & Pink Floyd through to Astor Piazolla and Dave Brubeck's classic Take 5.
Rodrigo and Gabriela’s appearance at Womad 2018, playing the Sunday night closing slot on the TSB Bowl Stage was, for many in the capacity crowd, one of the musical highlights of an exceptional weekend.
