Rodrigo y Gabriela: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert
Музыка
The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
April 28, 2020 | Felix Contreras -- This unprecedented period of worldwide lockdown has halted public musical performances. But it has also inspired intimate performances by musicians directly from the places where they create their music.
The Mexican duo known as Rodrigo y Gabriela travel the globe playing to crowds who are captivated by their almost telepathic acoustic guitar interplay. But they make their home in Mexico in a sunny Pacific beach town called Zihuatanejo (remember The Shawshank Redemption?). For this performance we get a peek at their home studio, where they surround themselves with guitars and dress down in sneakers and casual clothes. They run through tunes from throughout their recorded history, including a song they played at the Tiny Desk back in 2009. Rodrigo y Gabriela's picking and strumming feel more relaxed than usual but maintains their intense focus.

There is a KZread video out there somewhere that she shows you the technique (well the main strumming one anyway). It is a lot easier that it seems, but also requires a looooooooooot of practice to make it as easy as she makes it look/sound (and no, I most certainly haven`t practised enough lol)

@@davidespinosa1910 Ali Farka Youre & Ry Cooder, John Williams & Julian Bream, Duo Del Mar, Dickey Betts and Duane Allman. I could go on for probably a thousand of these, seeing as how the guitar is in my mind the most popular instrument in the world. Both because of its easy playability, size, cost, lack of need for electricity and so on. Most people think the piano is the worlds most popular instrument but they're discounting the sale of guitars and guitar like instruments world wide. Theres no doubt in my mind that guitar holds the 1st place globally. I play and listen to a lot of music from all around the world, guitar is everywhere, piano is not. Pianos are big and expensive and or require being hooked up. The numbers online only count piano/keyboard sales in the US which is already fishy. So trust me, its not true. Guitar definitely holds the #1 spot of most played. Its huge in south america, africa, the middle east, there are many guitar like instruments widely played in south east asia and asia major. In short, there's no shortage of guitar duos. But when asking people who comes to their head, you get a lot of classic rock duos, and or Rodrigo y Gabriella. So they definitely hold a top spot. And they worked hard to get there. They moved to a difrent part of the world just to get traction on their style because Mexico and south America are flooded with instrumental guitarist. But they were diffrent, had a diffrent style and sound. Now look at them, they're world renowned. They're albums are scattered across the global top 100 charts and they hold a #1 spot for their debut album in Ireland which is where they had moved to get traction. So yeah im not sure how you could refute their popularity let alone talent as a guitar duet. They seem cemented in that #1 spot for now unless you can name someone else bigger, more talented and better sounding than them?
Gabriela just looks like she's in a trance. Just sick talented. ❤ She's like, "Here I go. Keep up...if you can."

I had Tiny Desk playing in the background while I cooked and these guys came on. Twenty-two minutes later, I haven't moved and the dinner is burned. Don't care. I'd order in Mexican food, in their honour, but ain't nobody cooking in my 'hood, these days. So, the kids can make themselves sarnies while I watch this again 🍷 Thank you, Tiny Desk and Rodrigo y Gabriela.

If you've never seen them live, at least recently, imagine Gabriela's rhythm playing and percussion through a large PA system. She sounds huge and her groove really gets you moving. Put Rodrigo's melodies on top, along with a light show, and it's magical and joyful. This performance here is magical too, but it's a different experience seeing them headline a live show. I definitely want to see them again!

Anybody else watching this for a music class? Good luck on your assignments y'all. And great performance!
This pair takes 'guitar virtuoso' to a whole new level. They play so well together. I heard on 'Latino USA' (I think) today Rodrigo played Heavy Metal back in the day. Blew my mind.

We witnessed them at the Hollywood Bowl in 2018. All I can say to any of you if that if you have the chance to see them live, you MUST - whatever it takes!
Never realized til watching them play just how talented Gabriela is. I mean Rodrigo's pretty good don't get me wrong but I feel like I could play 90% of what he's playing with like, a little bit of practice. When I'm watching Gabriela's rhythm I'm blown away. She's doing some stuff would take me years of dedication to replicate.

I remember their last Tiny Desk concert so well. One of my absolute favorites.
I've listened to these guys ever since I was three, on mix CD's my dad made for going on drives in the mountains. When they finally came to my town for the first time, I was fifteen years old, and first in line for the concert (an hour early). I remember being transfixed to the stage, resting my arms on it for the length of the concert, rocking along with their guitars and their movement. No video of them can come close to the feeling that you get at their concerts, it's truly special: the music that they make and the love they put into it.
