Rodrigo y Gabriela release new live album
A French taste of guitar-shredding action is coming your way!
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 14 Jul 2011
Ahead of their much-anticipated Marlay Park date on July 31, Mexican guitar sensations Rodrigo y Gabriela are set to release a brand new live record. Live In France contains 11 tracks recorded at various French venues during their hugely successful 11:11 world tour.
Set for release on July 21 in Ireland and July 25 in the UK, the album is a further illustration, if it were needed, that the dynamic duo are masters of their craft and have a special hold on their audience. It's a busy time for the pair, having recently worked with legendary composer Hans Zimmer on the soundtrack to massive blockbuster Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
