(NEWARK, NJ) -- Rodrigo y Gabriela, the metal-loving duo from Mexico City inspired by both flamenco and hard rock will perform live at New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) on Friday, April 15, 2022. Rodrigo y Gabriela, GRAMMY® Award-winning musicians and the guitarists, known for their lively and passionate performances will entertain audiences with their unique sound pulling inspiration from rock, heavy metal, and nuevo flamenco.

The duo has sold-out venues, including Royal Albert Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and the Hollywood Bowl, with devoted fans worldwide. You’ve also heard their vibrant musical stylings in films like Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and Puss in Boots. Rodrigo y Gabriela combines intricate musicianship, breathless energy, and pulsing rhythms for a genre-defying experience you won’t soon forget.

Deep-rooted fans who discovered Rodrigo y Gabriela through their 2006 self-titled breakout album have long recognized the Mexicans’ mastery of their instruments. Rodrigo’s shimmering, hummingbird flourishes hovering over Gabriela’s extraordinary engine room rhythm section are a staple for the duo. Through relentless touring and terrific word-of-mouth support, Rodrigo y Gabriela have established themselves as a hugely in-demand live act, particularly in America, where they sold out the Hollywood Bowl (two nights) and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre as recently as summer 2018. They have also sold out multiple nights at the Royal Albert Hall in London, Le Zenith in Paris and Radio City Music Hall in New York, not to mention venues in Australia, Japan and Europe. With career album sales well in excess of 1.5 million worldwide, Rodrigo y Gabriela have established themselves as globally successful artists who are eager to write new chapters in their already illustrious story.
