Rodrigo y Gabriela live in Santa Fe

Experience Rodrigo y Gabriela live on November 7th

Rodrigo y Gabriela are a Mexican acoustic guitar duo renowned for their energetic and innovative instrumental compositions. Their music blends flamenco, rock, and jazz influences, characterized by rapid-fire strumming, percussive techniques on the guitar bodies, and complex rhythmic interplay. Originally busking on the streets of Ireland in the late 1990s, they gained international recognition through word-of-mouth and online videos before releasing their debut album in 2003. They consistently tour globally and have collaborated with artists across various genres.

The Lensic Performing Arts Centre in Santa Fe, New Mexico, occupies a building with a rich history. Originally constructed in 1931 as a movie theatre during the golden age of cinema, it was designed in the Pueblo Deco style – a regional adaptation of Art Deco incorporating Native American motifs. The venue operated as a single-screen cinema for several decades before falling into disrepair.

A significant restoration project completed in 2001 transformed the Lensic into a multi-disciplinary performing arts centre. It now hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, dance performances, theatrical productions, film screenings and community gatherings.
