I've always been a fan of Flamenco, like Manitas De Plata, Paco De Lucia and others...  After watching this, I'm busing out the old nylon string like never before!

They are a fantastic duo and do a great job blending classic Flamenco-ish stylings with metal.

Stairway - reinterpreted yet again.  I think they do a great job of capturing the energy at the end of the song.

Learn Tamacun from their CD... - Yeah, right...

They are super performers and really entertaining live. I saw them in October of 2007 in NYC, and man they rocked. Gabriela's right hand work is really solid.

They used to be in a lousy thrash band in Mexico.
 
I bought the album a while ago, and was lucky enough to catch them supporting Muse in June 07.  Great players.  Tight as a gnat's chuff.

Originally from Mexico, now based in Dublin, Ireland I believe

 
You know I've been away, so sorry about digging up old stuff, but, I LOVE these folks.  Their cover of Orion by the Metallica that was not taken over by aliens, is simply awesome.

Yeah these folks are real cool.
Anyone who runs might want to try to do a few miles to 11:11, the new album.
