Their energy is hard to conceive of! And there unison is virtually perfect! These two performing together are a wonder to behold!
5 years later and this song still gives me goosebumps, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!
That's what the result of ten thousand hours of practice looks like!
I love how when Rodrigo starts popping off the crowd literally cannot contain their whoops anymore, he is actually controlling them.
The first time I heard them, I could not believe there was no percussionist...I mean other than Gabriela, of course. Then you realize that they don't need another percussionist.
Insanely talented!
Historically speaking, using the guitar body as a multifaceted percussion section is wholly a Latin creation. She is a true impresario of her heritage with her level of artistry...
its still pyly afticaia
I always thought it was a Spanish flamenco thing , which was exported to latin America.
Still these two take it to the next level.
Ben Davies I’ll grant that I’m no expert on Flamenco but I have enjoyed watching it for quite some time. During the dance the guitar follows the dancers, it doesn’t provide the rhythm or the percussions. That is completely in the hands and feet of the dancers. From the castanets to the hard soles of the dancers shoes comes the entire rhythm of the dance. Oh, and Ben just to offer a small correction. You seem, from your statement, to be under the impression that Latin ethnicity doesn’t include Spain. You truly can’t be more Latin that Spain. Every country on the planet who speaks a derivative of the Spanish language owes its Latin heritage to the country of Espanã...
That's not historically accurate. Guitarists have been using the guitar body as an instrument, a speaker and a mic forever.
@@andrewlambert7464 Hello Andrew. I little knowledge is dangerous tool. The slap strum is an intrigral part of flamenco, this has been developed into the precusive style commonly associated with south america. Also latin is associated with Italy not Spain! The term latin in relation to Spanish indicates that Spanish is considered a derivative of the latin language, the use in relation to latin america is a recognition of the influence of Europeans ( predominantly Spanish) your understanding is limited maybe it's an American thing.
No blood on Gabriella's strings!!!! - she must have fingers of iron!!!! Fabulous performance for the duo.
I'm a drummer. I could watch her play rhythms for hours.
I'm with my "brother of the sticks"!
I agree and concur 100%
That young lady is unreal and I understand she developed the style completely herself. And I have heard her being melodic on the guitar as well as insanely percussive. I'm amazed that her fingers/hands are just flesh and bone!!!!
I have been playing kit since 1962 and I am amazed every time I hear them.
And the fact that she is on the same level as her husbands playing abilities, and then just added a completely different level of percussion to the instrument, IMO takes their music to a level that they wouldn’t be able to achieve on their own.
@@Daddy53751 not her husband
@@manojperumarath8217 ok,
Up until recently. Better?
Swear this is the best guitar piece I've ever heard. Makes you want to take up the guitar.
Flamenco, Classical, Jazz, and Rock influences all rolled into one.
that has got to be the most unorthodox way of playing a guitar.
I love it
We saw Rodrigo y Gabriela at the Hollywood Bowl together with the LA Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel. As overwhelming as this short video was, you all MUST find a way to attend one of their concerts IN PERSON (now that Covid restrictions might be loosening). Prepare to be blown away!
I've been following them since 2005. I saw them live, and was hooked instantly.
Very unique sound. It sounds like it has various genre's mixed together to make a nice sound. It's like they mixed Tejano, Classic Rock, Modern Metal style riffs with a Bluegrass pace. Very talented musicians.
These two are phenomenal! Thanks for sharing!
The two different styles, they compliment each other so well.
I decided to learn how to play the guitar back in 2016 because of this video. What a journey it’s been…
These two have been sooo good for years! It makes me happy to see them performing on TED!
her rhythm style is extremely impressive.
Abeltensor i personally think she’s better than Hendrix.
@@scottlevin3966 I'd say he play competely different instruments. Might as well compare a pianist. But I'd put her in the same teir as Hendrix.
"Electrifying" is simply the best way to explain this video! The way they're strumming, how are there no broken guitar strings?! Haha, very nice job, guys! I'm glad I was able to watch this video.
Because guitar strings have improved!
What did I just listen to? I feel like I am hearing music for the first time!
Wow! Beautiful movement and rhythm. Their smiles only add to the magic. Excellent.
THERE ARE NEVER ENOUGH TIMES TO WATCH RODRIGO Y GABRIELA!
They play music together as if they were in the act of creating a being, with all of the passion and emotion, the physical exertions that go along with that act. I do not say that to be crude or disrespectful; just the opposite. What they create is beautiful to behold.
I know exactly what you meen ☆☆☆
I have never seen a bad performance by Rodrigo y Gabriela, always spectacular. As far as I,m concerned they created their own genre of music. They said they had to invent their own percussion because they couldn't afford a drummer while playing as street musicians in Dublin.
In an interview they where really beautiful down to earth people.
Shredding on classical guitars...I like it!!
I would strongly suggest people to check out some of their other work. These guys are amazing.
Seriously, why would you thumbs down this video?
Even if the tune isn’t for you can you not appreciate their skill, speed and passion at least?
No
freaking liberals
"TED Concerts -- music worth listening" Not a bad idea at all.
Maravilhoso
They are a couple who define and yet exceed the term of amazement! May God grant them health, happiness and prosperity for the joy they share with millions. Potty Mouth Mike, San Antonio, Texas
EVERY ONE of their performances is "ELECTRIFYING" simply put!!!!
my Godness, so good
I saw these two live in San Francisco. Fantastic show!
Gabriella’s right hand technique is outstanding!.
It is beyond fantastic, the dexterity of this woman is out of this world!
Still amazed people haven't seen these guys before, but lovely that you are now. There are hours of video and audio pleasure that await you.

They do play Metallica covers.
TEDMED They actually play with Robert Trujillo from Metallica on a couple of live show s. They do Orion with him. They even play a cover of one.
They have a metallica cover on one of their albums. Pretty neat stuff.
@@alanalanis2257 They seem to play a riff from Orion on this video. Check this out: czcams.com/video/8UPHFjHvGvY/video.html
+TEDMED They had their own trash metal band called "Tierra Acida" before they started with this kind of music. You can hear their metal background.
