Rodrigo y Gabriela enter the States...finally!

The Hot Press Newsdesk

Having been prevented from playing the SXSW showcase festival in Texas, Rodrigo y Gabriela were finally issued with the necessary paperwork to enter the States last week.

As previously reported in Hot Press, the American Embassy in Mexico City initially refused to issue Rodrigo Sanchez with an Entertainment Working Visa because his name is similar to that of a wanted felon.
Sanchez’s bona fides established, the duo start a lengthy US tour on April 14 in LA’s Gibson Amphitheatre.
