Festival International de Jazz de Montreal presents

Rodrigo y Gabriela

Heavy metal meets flamenco? Why not! That’s the unlikely and brilliant 15-year musical fusion served up by Rodrigo and Gabriela. Originally from Mexico, the duo is unparalleled when it comes to fiery acoustic guitar skills and cutting-edge flamenco rhythms. They return 8 years after their last Festival appearance with 9 Dead Alive.
