Celebrating last year’s release of In Between Thoughts…A New World, Rodrigo y Gabriela stopped by the Fox Theater in Oakland and delivered an electrifying performance, captivating the audience with their signature blend of acoustic guitar mastery. Their dynamic energy filled the room as they seamlessly traded intricate rhythms and fiery solos, showcasing their deep connection as musicians. The duo’s chemistry was palpable, their interplay creating a soundscape that felt as much a conversation as a performance. Though the stage was bare, save for an amazing light show, the pair filled the space with their legendary sound. Every strum and pluck resonated with the crowd, leaving no doubt why they’ve earned such a loyal following. It was a night of pure, raw musicianship that reminded everyone of the magic live music brings.
Canadian Afro-Cuban jazz group, Okan, kicked off the night with an incredible set that was poignant and fun!
