Based in Dublin, Ireland, originally from Mexico, this duo plays acoustic guitar with style, flair, and talent. A bit of flamenco, a bit of rock, a touch of world. (including covers of “Stairway to Heaven,” and Metallica’s “Orion.” It’s hard to define, but it’s all good. If you love guitar, you’ll love this CD. They are amazing. They have a fabulous, percussive style that can give their music a fascinating, driving edge. All instrumentals.

*1. Fast, fiery, passionate w/hard percussive playing. Yow!!
*2. Upbeat & driving w/wicked fast energy. Almost exhausting.
3. Lively mid/uptempo, cracky radio break at 2:00, then fast, fast.
4. Mid/uptempo and changeable. At time lyrical, others driving.
*5. Starts up, slows down, picks up & adds great violin.
6. Interesting Led Zepplin cover w/varying tempos & lots of energy.
*7. Increasingly driving, then midtempo & cool.
*8. Fast – restrained – fast, with serious playing throughout.
9. Upbeat w/a catchy flamenco-esque melody & percussive playing.
