R&G in Atlanta

Atlanta is a stunningly beautiful city, and one of the most appealing things about it is its modesty.  You get the feeling that it’s been cool for a very long time, and no matter how much word gets out about its coolness, it still refuses to cater to any sensibilities other than its own.  It is very diverse, culturally, and attracts visitors from all over the world.  At one time, it was only frequently visited because of the airline, but today people come here to experience the city.  There’s always a lot to see.  The local talent is very high, and there’s a lot of interesting new work in theatre, visual art, and music.  There are also some great acts that come through here.

In March of 2010, one of the more anticipated concerts of the season will be Rodrigo y Gabriela.  This would be a perfect time to book your Atlanta Hotel.  Luxury is always high, and you can learn for yourself why Southern hospitality is so widely regarded.  It’s an art form that they’ve really honed to an elegant perfection.  It also has a kind of homespun flavor that isn’t overwhelmed by its ability to cater to an international audience.  The same thing could certainly be said about the music of Rodrigo y Gabriela.

The duo hails from Mexico City, where they met while playing in a heavy metal band.  They discovered a mutual interest, and talent for, playing complicated guitar riffs at high speed.  They started to collaborate, and found that together they made something with a very charming energy.  It’s always a hard world for artists, and so when they discovered that Dublin had a reputation as a decent place for touring musicians, they went overseas.  They’ve been based there ever since, and have enjoyed success in Europe while seeing their fan base rise on this continent as well.  This is a great opportunity, then, to see how the music has evolved, and should be a fantastic evening.
