The concert last night was *amazing.* Beautiful day, beautiful venue, beautiful artists.
The opener was Ceu, from Brazil. She had kind of a jazzy, samba-y, afrobeat feel to her. Very chill and very relaxed. We bought her CD, as well as two copies of Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Unfortunately, almost all of the videos I took of Rodrigo y Gabriela are too big to upload, so you'll have to deal with this one. I'm telling you, words cannot express how awesome these two are. If you *ever* get a chance to see them in person, take it. I promise you, you will not regret it.
I believe these two have the potential to single handedly introduce an entire generation of people to honest talent and instrumental genius. This is a far cry from the manufactured pop that most people listen to today. But it has an appeal that I think transcends all age brackets and all genres. Absolutely incredible.
The energy was fantastic. Everyone was excited and cheering, and there wasn't an empty seat in the house.
I really wish I could share more of the video I took, but this is all that would fit. I even have one of Rodrigo playing Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here with a beer bottle! This video is rather pitiful, but at least you get the idea.
I hope you like it!
