Rodrigo y Gabriela - Live In Japan Album Review

Review for Rodrigo y Gabriela's album 'Live In Japan'.

Rodrigo y Gabriela are two very talented musicians and it's fantastic that they've become a successful act, in a world where major record labels and manufactured acts appear to rule.

Their third studio album has won hearts across the world and these two Mexican musicians who reside in Japan have become one of the biggest names for creating beautiful flamenco and classical guitar songs.

This live album mixes some of the highlights from their third album with earlier work and a new song titled 'OK Tokyo'. The album's faultless and also captures a certain playfulness that comes over in the bands live performances but their highlight has to be their take on 'Take Five' which is simply spectacular.

8/10
