Great show last night! I figured out that it was somewhere between my 20th and 30th time seeing them live, and that the first time was over SEVENTEEN years ago. Jeez! Highlights: Full horn section for about a third of the show. These guys were a...

Rodrigo y Gabriela Concert Review

2007-06-28T18:43:17Z

The concert last night was *amazing.* Beautiful day, beautiful venue, beautiful artists. The opener was Ceu, from Brazil. She had kind of a jazzy, samba-y, afrobeat feel to her. Very chill and very relaxed. We bought her CD, as well as two co...
