Rodrigo y Gabriela are touring in support of their latest album, In Between Thoughts…A New World, which was created during the pandemic. These new songs feature Rodrigo on electric guitar and Gabriela on acoustic. They blend these instruments together expertly for a truly rocking sound.

They play a lot of songs from the new album including “Seeking Unreality”. This great track showcases their amazing guitar playing ability and proves they are still making great music.

They use a lot of fog to create a great environment for a dazzling light show. Some parts are perhaps a bit too bright for the smaller space of the Charleston Music Hall.

In the encore, they play the fantastic “Tamacun” from their self titled 2006 album. This song sounds fantastic in the small theatre. After each encore song, there is thunderous applause and standing ovations. It felt like each song could be the last one.

They truly make the most of their acoustic guitars. Often they play the body of the guitar like a drum. At times it seems like they are playing six instruments at once in an explosion of sound.
