Live From the Artists Den

Rodrigo Y Gabriela (8x2)

:

On the eve of the release of their album, 9 Dead Alive, the incomparable Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela performed at Upper Manhattan’s Hispanic Society of America for their episode of Live from the Artists Den. The virtuoso musicians played a dazzling set in the century-old museum’s Bancaja Gallery, surrounded by the fourteen paintings that make up Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida’s masterwork “Vision of Spain.” It was a breathtaking setting for Rodrigo y Gabriela’s unique fusion of genres, a mix of melodic beauty and percussive fury which drove the crowd into clapping, stomping glee.
