In 2019, the Mexican guitar prodigy duo released an album close to their hearts, Mettavolution. The record had been thought out long and hard and felt, with its Buddhist inspiration, like the breaker of a long five-year silence. Eighteen months and numerous triumphant concerts later, Rodrigo y Gabriela relive the story with this live performance. After having us listen through their crowd’s excited cheers, the duo kicks off the proceedings with two particularly energetic versions of tracks from the middle of their studio album (Krotona Days and Witness Tree). They then give us a flash-back with some cleverly updated versions of The Soundmaker (9 Dead Alive, 2014) and 11:11, the title track from their 2009 album, followed by a flamboyant rendition of Diablo Rojo, also from 9 Dead Alive. The most ambitous track on Mettavolution, their appropriation of Pink Floyd’s legendary Echoes, stands out at the heart of the concert. This new performance is longer and more organic but just as exhilarating and personal as their approach in the studio. With the exception of Gabriela’s crescendo solo and two tracks from their eponymous album (Tamacun and Hanuman), the track-listing is entirely dedicated to Mettavolution. Judging by the audience’s huge reaction, the track which gives its name to this record is set to be a key addition to their repertoire. After Electric Soul and Cumbe, they finish this hurricane of a concert with Terracentric, proving, as if they had any more need to, their inventive virtuosity, a compliment to the multiculturalism which works to delicately latinise their rock aspirations. © Benjamin MiNiMuM/Qobuz
