Concert announcement: Rodrigo y Gabriela

Posted By on Mon, Jul 19, 2010 at 10:35 AM

Rodrigo y Gabriela will perform at The Fillmore Charlotte on Oct. 16. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 23, at 10 a.m.

The duo has been performing together for more than 15 years and bring their heavy metal backgrounds into an instrumental, acoustic format. It's impressive to watch as Gabriela Quintero will flick and hit her guitar to create more of a percussion style while Rodrigo Sanchez usually takes the lead.

At Bonnaroo in 2007, the duo quickly established a large crowd for their late-night set as passersby continually asked me, "Who is this? They're amazing!" Few left after hearing their music ring out.

The next time around, the duo was on Bonnaroo's main stage.

Check them out on an original song, "Tamacun":
