Rodrigo y Gabriela return to Orlando this week

Even when rocking it acoustically as they’ve done for most of their storied career, acclaimed Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela are always pure electricity on stage. Their flamenco-nuevo stylings take traditional guitar technique and mainline it with hot young blood and forward sensibilities.

For nearly a quarter-century now, they’ve been slinging Spanish guitar virtuosity with the fireworks of heavy metal in a brilliant collision of soul and style. As stirring as it is on record, though, live is where it truly stuns. Come be dazzled by one of the most instrumentally dynamic and charismatic duos alive.

Opening the night is Okan, a femme-forward, Juno Award-winning progressive Afro-Cuban group.

7 p.m. Thursday, April 18, The Plaza Live.
