- The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music's Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It's the same spirit - stripped-down sets, an intimate setting - just a different space.
April 28, 2020 | Felix Contreras -- This unprecedented period of worldwide lockdown has halted public musical performances. But it has also inspired intimate performances by musicians directly from the places where they create their music.
The Mexican duo known as Rodrigo y Gabriela travel the globe playing to crowds who are captivated by their almost telepathic acoustic guitar interplay. But they make their home in Mexico in a sunny Pacific beach town called Zihuatanejo (remember The Shawshank Redemption?). For this performance we get a peek at their home studio, where they surround themselves with guitars and dress down in sneakers and casual clothes. They run through tunes from throughout their recorded history, including a song they played at the Tiny Desk back in 2009. Rodrigo y Gabriela's picking and strumming feel more relaxed than usual but maintains their intense focus.

gracias a usteded!!
You guys make everyone smile :)
Do you want to play a stringed or a percussion instrument?
Gabriela: Yes
I mean, in a classical sense the guitar IS a percussion instrument.
HANUMAN! 😀
Yes!
Jjyes...
Yes. Guitar IS a percussion instrument.
Me: "Oh, an instrumental group. I'll play this in the background while I study"
Me: *vigorously bobs head*
Me: *does no work until entire video plays*
Me: *hits replay*
That just happened to me ;)
Exactly, and it happens so often because of Tiny Desk...
oh no you won't ever get work done listening to them. the rhythm will take you over.
I'm still getting over "Oh, an instrumental group." What rock have you been under?!! LOL. LOVE me some RyR
Facts!!! U can’t help but move. Lol I couldn’t click off.
Are all those extra guitars on hand in case the ones they’re playing catch fire? 🙌🏻
Indeed!!

🤗
Probably differently tuned strings for different songs, so they don't have to re-tune during the set.
Haha!
Gabriella is a machine her rhythms are outrageous ❤️❤️❤️❤️
tomtomthebear definitely the more strenuous tactic between the two guitars. Not to say that the lead is in any way easy but that right hand has soooo many hours of practice.
Simp
Best rhythm guitarist ever!
I hope her guitar has extra bracing. She sure pounds it. I love it.
I've practiced her playing style some. It makes my hand sore after a while. She has some serious endurance maintain flexibility as she does in spite of all the impacts in her playing style.
It’s been almost 15 years and Tamacun still slaps so hard.
That's the thing about great music; it's timeless.
Agreed. Still one of my favorites of theirs.
15 years wut
They help safely disperse the the spirit energy
My brain is incapable of comprehending what Gabriela's right hand is doing.
These two shred harder on acoustic guitars than most bands do on electric.
They do a lot of acoustic metal covers in case you have never seen them.
I believe she was self taught and developed her own fingering techniques.
There is a TH-cam video out there somewhere that she shows you the technique (well the main strumming one anyway). It is a lot easier that it seems, but also requires a looooooooooot of practice to make it as easy as she makes it look/sound (and no, I most certainly haven`t practised enough lol)
She is adding a little extra fresh flavor for her neighbor... Keeping the rhythm and giving... Flipping styles and creating smiles :)
@@mshilko if I wasn't so immature I probably would've read this comment to mean fingering guitars
Those 50 dislikes are just people mad they cant play the guitar like Rodrigo y Gabriela!
I believe so !
FACT
My guess would be disliking the ad placements...
haha exactly
🤣🤣🤣🤟🏼
Gabriela just looks like she's in a trance. Just sick talented. ❤ She's like, "Here I go. Keep up...if you can."
Only an intimate home show by the greatest 6 string duet of all time. No biggie. Casual flex by Npr.
Mikerphone 😊
@@nprmusic 💪
NPR more like NBD 👌
Name two more guitar duos, and I might give you some credit...
@@davidespinosa1910 Ali Farka Youre & Ry Cooder, John Williams & Julian Bream, Duo Del Mar, Dickey Betts and Duane Allman. I could go on for probably a thousand of these, seeing as how the guitar is in my mind the most popular instrument in the world.
Both because of its easy playability, size, cost, lack of need for electricity and so on. Most people think the piano is the worlds most popular instrument but they're discounting the sale of guitars and guitar like instruments world wide. Theres no doubt in my mind that guitar holds the 1st place globally. I play and listen to a lot of music from all around the world, guitar is everywhere, piano is not. Pianos are big and expensive and or require being hooked up. The numbers online only count piano/keyboard sales in the US which is already fishy. So trust me, its not true. Guitar definitely holds the #1 spot of most played. Its huge in south america, africa, the middle east, there are many guitar like instruments widely played in south east asia and asia major.
In short, there's no shortage of guitar duos. But when asking people who comes to their head, you get a lot of classic rock duos, and or Rodrigo y Gabriella. So they definitely hold a top spot. And they worked hard to get there. They moved to a difrent part of the world just to get traction on their style because Mexico and south America are flooded with instrumental guitarist. But they were diffrent, had a diffrent style and sound. Now look at them, they're world renowned. They're albums are scattered across the global top 100 charts and they hold a #1 spot for their debut album in Ireland which is where they had moved to get traction.
So yeah im not sure how you could refute their popularity let alone talent as a guitar duet. They seem cemented in that #1 spot for now unless you can name someone else bigger, more talented and better sounding than them?
Gabriela is easily one of the greatest rhythm guitarists ever. As a duo they are mind blowingly good!
I had to bring my guitar into the other room, so it stopped giving me that look.
I think that is the best reply ever!
lol ! that"s so funny! thanks for that laugh!
HAHAHHAHHAH YES IS FUNNY HAHAHAHA
Someone 7 years ago commented this on their previous video. Hm.
@@keixsy So what? Still the best reply 😀
Me: Anyway, here's Wonderwall.

I had Tiny Desk playing in the background while I cooked and these guys came on. Twenty-two minutes later, I haven't moved and the dinner is burned. Don't care. I'd order in Mexican food, in their honour, but ain't nobody cooking in my 'hood, these days. So, the kids can make themselves sarnies while I watch this again 🍷
Thank you, Tiny Desk and Rodrigo y Gabriela.
What strikes me most is how incredibly synchronized they are. Wonderfully creative and fantastic technique and all of it as if there’s one musician instead of two. This level of connection is unbelievably rare and beautiful.
I love that they don't step on each other trying to be the one in charge, when one backs off the other moves forward enhancing each other.
absolutely. i just recognize this level of connection in ice skating duos
They are geniuses and the good kind.
It’s good for married couples to have something they can do together,
a common hobby.😁
Si
they are in the ZONE! they are not with us they are in the highest dimensions of music !!
God I feel old, I saw these guys live in London, back when Rodrigo wasn't going grey.
Awesome then, awesome now. 👏 Bravo
This is almost exactly what I was thinking.
I've seen them half a year ago, back when I could still go outside :p
Hey I started going grey at 19 of course it was after some very traumatic experiences.
15 years ago when I was 15 years old at my first Cambridge folk festival ha!
Like wine, Better with time.

Thank you for this beautiful concert
Very technical-Their live versions sound very much all the same
it is like watching gods play guitar.
Who needs a cajon player, when Gabriela throws the beat so hard?
Rodrigo y Gabriela: exist
My foot: tappity-tap-tap ^_^
I love Rodrigo, but Gabriella is 1 hella Rhythm machine
she's a scene-stealer for sure!
ilham mohtar Better than a click track.
This is my favorite recording of Diablo Rojo thanks to her!
@@JohnShepherdMusic exactly
And more
Yesssss!! These guys are amazing! Respect from Dublin, I used to see them performing on the street on the way home from school. Amazing.
That brings back memories!
Lucky you
That is awesome! I remember reading about how they wound up there.
The way they look at each other and get lost within the music is mesmerizing.
Love the "trust the process" sign they have up on wall.
I wonder if thats an actual reference to the 76ers
If you've never seen them live, at least recently, imagine Gabriela's rhythm playing and percussion through a large PA system. She sounds huge and her groove really gets you moving. Put Rodrigo's melodies on top, along with a light show, and it's magical and joyful. This performance here is magical too, but it's a different experience seeing them headline a live show. I definitely want to see them again!
Sinner Train I second that emotion, their live experience is like a sledgehammer in the chest!
I was lucky enough to see them last year at Hollywood Bowl. Amazing! Always loved them, but yeah... video does't do them justice even though all their videos are great!
I also saw them for the first time last year. Blown away.
I was thinking that same thing while looking at those amps behind them. That's got to be amazing! I have never seen them live but hopefully someday.
I saw them backed by the Oregon symphony! Incredible!
Are you a little shy, Gabriela? When you do look at each other, you smile.
I love how Gabriela has her feet on that little step and it's just barely keeping her on her chair.
This is absolutely ridiculous. SO SO good. How can anyone play a guitar so well
Who’s clapping hands everytime they finished every song? 👏
There have been a few woohoo's too!
Who’s clapping hands every time they simply PLAY a song?
NPR is killing it with these home concerts. Like, everyone's doing it, but NPR is still doing it better
Like who else is doing them?
KEXP out of Seattle is amazing as well. Both their regular live performances and the home versions due to the pandemic OpenAir (now Indie102.3) from Colorado Public Radio in Denver has some good stuff too.
Your seeing two of the top 10 guitar players in the world here!!!
If you haven't seen them live, make their concert one of the first you attend when we are able to go to concerts again!!
Words fail me. I bow down in happy gratitude for this music.
I've listened to these guys ever since I was three, on mix CD's my dad made for going on drives in the mountains. When they finally came to my town for the first time, I was fifteen years old, and first in line for the concert (an hour early). I remember being transfixed to the stage, resting my arms on it for the length of the concert, rocking along with their guitars and their movement. No video of them can come close to the feeling that you get at their concerts, it's truly special: the music that they make and the love they put into it.
Liam Queneau Wholeheartedly agree. And Gabriela that close up is a Goddess.
The best acoustic guitar duo ever. Incredible people, incredible musicians.
No waaaay!! Left a comment in the original Rodrigo and Gabriella’s tiny desk begging for them to redo it now and look at that. Thanks! ❤️
Stark Killers You manifested this. ✨
I remembered reading your comment!
Yeah, NPR needed you to tell them to have Rodrigo y Gabriella on the show again. Do we owe you money?
What was wrong with the first one? I missed it.
I guess wishes do Come true.
as someone learning the guitar during lockdown, my mind is blown in even more ways than usual
what he is doing is actually easier than what she is doing...by a mile!
123randomgenerator321 same here 🤨
and she learned guitar when she was an adult. He had a metal band that didn't work and i believe she was a friend and not in the music scene. She learn to play then and that's why her approach is a bit different, amazing but almost innocent in a way.
What songs are you learning to play?
NPR Music radio head no surprises amongst orhers🎶🎶
30,000 vs 203..thats about right..Love you guys
Gabriela is the most adorable person ever
Simply amazing , heard this 3 years ago during lockdown and it still amazes me
She "gets it" Not everyone get its. She gets it. Period.
I could listen to them all day. Thank you Rodrigo y Gabriela! You two are a phenomenal duo!
We witnessed them at the Hollywood Bowl in 2018. All I can say to any of you if that if you have the chance to see them live, you MUST - whatever it takes!
Pretty sure after the devil struck out in Georgia, he lost in Mexico too.
Be safe and thanks for helping us be well!
Love Rodrigo y Gabriela and love Zihuatanejo! Awesome job!!
Smile on face. Joy in heart. Tear in eye
Never realized til watching them play just how talented Gabriela is. I mean Rodrigo's pretty good don't get me wrong but I feel like I could play 90% of what he's playing with like, a little bit of practice. When I'm watching Gabriela's rhythm I'm blown away. She's doing some stuff would take me years of dedication to replicate.
Exactly this. Well to play Rodrigo’s parts’d be, at least for me a lot of practice, but it seems achievable. Gabriella’s parts just are something else...
honestly youd be surprised, you can learn her triplet technique in a few months. Im obviously not as good as her but it took me around one year to get to a comfortable level where i can cover their songs.
@@okthisisreallyga with her part it seems harder to know where to start.
@@okthisisreallyga how did you approach learning her rhythm technique? I mean did you study her movements on video and go from there?
They're the best!! VIVA MEXICO CABRONES! 🇲🇽 Rodrigo and Gabriela always make me wanna play the guitar, dance, be awesome and breaking bad 😎
O yeah they are in breaking bad aren't they
This pair takes 'guitar virtuoso' to a whole new level. They play so well together. I heard on 'Latino USA' (I think) today Rodrigo played Heavy Metal back in the day. Blew my mind.
Anybody else watching this for a music class? Good luck on your assignments y'all. And great performance!
Just cos it's from home, don't be stingy with the 'liner notes' NPR. They are always written beautifully.
I was looking for them too!
@@mightymorphingpo I'm sorry, I'm not Taylor Swift's lover. Although I'd be happy to have a drink with her after the lockdown.
@@farflownfalcon1076 Taylor swift can give me covid19. I invite it
Diablo rojo fue la primera canción que escuché de este tremendo par. Me llena de vida escuchar y verles en el estudio donde supongo que la crearon. ¡Gracias! Muchos aplausos desde Hidalgo, Mexico.
Dancing to this on my headphones, in my kitchen, cooking, by coincidence, chicken fajitas. This is the best that I have ever heard them!
Her technique is epic
I remember listening to these two back in highschool when I got really into Flamenco, they are still so amazing.
Feeding Metal to the masses through a unique style fusion with Flamenco, they are artists that fully give in to their musical passion and vision. Much respect.
You are by far the best duet Ever!!!!!!
As a guitar player, wouldn't it be great to be born with her right hand and his left hand.
Paul Leggett 💯💯💯💯💯
Absolute Masters of their craft. No doubt about it. Wonderful.
I remember their last Tiny Desk concert so well. One of my absolute favorites.
THE BEST GUITAR PLAYERS IN THE WORLD !!!
If any video ever needed 60+hz... this is it.
Who's listening this video to relaxing in middle of this pandemic?
It took me a while to work out where the 'drum' beat is coming from but Gabriela is doing it with her hand WHAT?!
THIS DESERVES MORE VIEWS
whou, so habe ich mir immer gewünscht mit meiner frau zu spielen. große klasse gabriela und rodrigo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cada ves que veo a mi Rodrigo y Gabriela me emociono cañón! Sin duda son los mejor con la guitarra! Saludos de Morelos, México.
They've played these songs so many times since the mid-2000s that they could do them blindfolded.
they basically are, their eyes are closed 80% of the time lol
I miss Mexico SO BAD!
ohhhhh ohhhh oh ohhhhhhh... gracias Rodrigo, gracias Gabriela. Much much love
when you hit the like button before the music has even started, you know you're a fan
I wanted to learn guitar to play at bible studies; I think you would draw much bigger crowds, because of how well you play. I didn't learn much guitar, but I still read los Santa Biblios. Thank you for sharing your talent, and enjoying what you do is thank you to God, I think.
NO ONE can play guitar like Gabriela! She's a phenom!! An entire rhythm and harmony section played on one guitar! Together they are INCREDIBLE!!
😢
Love the alterations made on their older songs. Great to hear something new but also keeps them from getting bored of playing the same songs
Anyone else suddenly realize halfway through the first song that their foot has been tapping along with them the whole time?
Anthony Ridgway oh god. Called out. Lol
oooh yesss :D
Half way thru.... Why u blind......
@@gato0082 i think by "their" he meant us the audience.
Everyone should, it's how you keep tempo
You two may be warm, but your hot playing and warm personalities are helping me keep warm in Canada! Thanks for sending sunshine through your music.
These guys are just awesome.
Perdón por acabarlos de descubrir son tan grandiosos me energullencen paisanos
Wow! What a scream and party of "We are alive!" "We are living!"
Thank YOU! AMAZING!
I'm so elated they returned. I was dancing along the whole time.
I've been listening to you for a lot of years. Thank you for becoming a part of my family. Te he estado escuchando durante muchos años. Gracias por formar parte de mi familia.
Just fantastic!
YOUR TIMINGS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN! THE MUSIC IS ALIVEEEEEE!!!
I'm having lunch in Malaysia and I'm pretending to be having my meal which watching Rodrigo and Gabriela in a pub. Thanks NPR Music!!
J'adore leur rythmique..ils vivent leur musique. Merci.. from France 😉😉
Gabriela is really holding it down for the group here.
I remember listening to their Tiny Desk Concert back when it first came out and having my mind blown, eyes opened and world expanded to this type of music. It's one of the major things I credit with getting me into playing classical guitar. Ever since listening to their set back in 2009 I've never set my guitar down and my love has never faltered. Gracias millones de veces Rodrigo y Gabriela, you're both phenomenal!!!!!
Ive never clicked on a youtube notification quicker....already know musical eargasm is approaching
Thank you... Love from England!!
I'm so relieved you are still airing Tiny Desk Concerts! Thank you to all the performers for creating from home for us.
They are in a league of their own! Always great to hear them 😊
Wauuuuuuuuu! This ENERGY! Thanks for sharing! Heart greetings from Germany
Just incredible! 🕊
Incredible! Thank you for existing!!!
warning: this music will not help you fall asleep..
I am discovering that.
🤣🤣🤣
❤
You two will always be a top favorite, living in Dublin when you were there was a gas!
I really needed that. Thank you! 🙌
Saw these guys live once, literally couldnt see their hands move w my human eyes. It just became a blur, like guitar is their super power
