First thanks for this video. Second "flamingo" is a stupid pink bird; you ment "Flamenco", and there is not a single note from flamenco spanish music inside Rodrigo and Gabriela style.
It's a proud they're successful mexicans touring over the world. Also check it out this guy, it's amazing too! AND it's now a Mexican too, he recognices mexico as his country, he's living in Taxco, Gro., Mex.
Es un orgullo que sean mexicanos exitosos haciendo tour alrededor del mundo. tambien chequen este compa, es increible tambien Y ahora es mexicano tambien, reconoce a mexico como su pais, vive en Taxco, Gro., Mex.
"Flamingo" is a bird, ..not a classical spanish guitar style thats "Flamenco".....and if you study them, they incorporate ALL of that and metal theory into their songs.
this is not flamenco...it's metallica! gabriela y rodrigo are influenced very heavily by heavy metal, and it shows when u see their covers of metallics, megadeath, pink floyd, etc. the have no style, they are their own style and it is beautiful!
@davidrh6373 Ah I see. I'm normally the member of the argument that does exactly what you are attempting (to show the community that you are intellectually superior). Maybe it's because I used foul language in the last post, maybe it's because you get defensive over Metal or maybe even because you're like that in real life....who knows.
The one thing I will not stand for on YouTube comments is jumping to conclusions. For all you know I could be a Cambridge scholar...
Considering these guys were a unrecognized heavy metal band they switched to acoustic to get more publicity, they still are heavy metal just in a different way.
Why are people even calling this Flamenco at all? This is much closer to Gypsy Jazz than to Flamenco. I can see Django Reinhardt's influence here. The only thing remotely related to flamenco in Rodrigo y Gabriela is Gabriela's rythmic part which is actually Rumba derived, that some purists don't even consider to be Flamenco at all.
@ianrkav I don't want to be a stickler and I don't know much about flamenco, but from the little I do know, it is my understanding that to be considered flamenco, the music should be played in compás, which is really a matter of the time signature and rhythmic structure, not about the strumming/picking techniques. Rodrigo & Gabriela have repeatedly stated that they don't care what you call their musical style as long as you don't call it flamenco... because, as they say, it is not flamenco.
To be considered Flamenco, they should be playing compás, which is not what Rodrigo & Gabriela play. They are not playing Flamenco style in their songs, in general.
i dont know why people dislike or make fun of mexicans they really have a great cultural backround great music and love their foods plus theyre kinda built for going fast and small dextorous hany work such as the guitar eaither way what im getting too every race has interesting backrounds that we can all respect :-:-: METAL UP YOUR ASS!!!
Thanks for your words. I'm from the same city as R & G and I love them. But we are not (every mexican) built for small dextorous hany work. Plus If I listen to someone making fun of mexicans or disliking us, you know well, I'll just laugh (and kick their racist little balls if any of them gets in my way).
@Thesupernoma Its probably because they don't know any actual Mexicans and are just going by stereotypes, or they do know actual Mexicans and are bigots.
Of all the silly things to start a fight over -- let's find the middle way and call it spanish guitar. Then everyone will get the vibe and the style in one go. There. Now let's enjoy the music :)
i don't want to sound like a hippy but why is the top rated comment somewone slating another person? top rated should be more like TheQTwolf 'sublime'.
Beautiful stuff. Some of the greatest guitarists on the planet are flamenco. I'm so glad I found these two. I would definitely go to see them play live
orale!!! la verdad que no los habia escuchado, pero tocan muy bien, yo soy mexicana y por los comentarios que he leido veo que ellos lo son, pero que pena de verdad, que en nuestro propio país no los hayan apoyado, tan buena música que es, no las porquerias que la gente suele escuchar, con mensajes que ni al caso, esto si es música, es melodía, muy buena música muchachos!!!sigan así!!
@rohs0205 Ni te fijes... la verdad doy gracias a la vida que existe todo tipo de música, así no tengo que escuchar la música que me gusta (como este excelente dueto) en la combi, o en el super o a cualquier lado que vaya... que vivan los buenos músicos mexicanos!!!!
@erickhcabrera SI TIENES RAZON,CADA QUIEN ESCUCHA LO QUE BIEN PARECE..PERO BUENO, ESTO ES BUENA MUSICA Y ESCUCHARLO EN EL LUGAR DONDE UNO DESEE ES BUENO..!!!SALUDOS DTB
"Flamingo" are a large bird of the genus Phoenicopterus. The flamingoes have webbed feet, very long legs, and a beak bent down as if broken. Their color is usually red or pink. The American flamingo is Phoenicopterus ruber; the European is Phoenicopterus antiquorum... Flamenco is a genre of music and dance which originated in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia in the 18th century.
@raiyankhan yes it was well wiki'd. I confess that I actually copied and pasted, but I already knew the difference between Flamingo, Falmenco and Flamengo (traditional Brazilian football club). lol
@Boborvi Wow Captain helpful! Although not an Ornithology post nor is it a grammar/spelling bee. Just listen to the talent of the musicians please. I do appreciate how smart you are as I'm sure the rest of the YT community that navigated to this page does.
"We do not play a specific genre but a mixture of many different genres. People can describe our music as they wish as long they don't say Flamenco 'cause our music is definitely not Flamenco" - Rodrigo y Gabriela
Yeah, for sure is not flamenco, which by the way is not a guitar style but a music style, which is most frequently associated with guitar.
While Rodrigo and Gabriela do use some flamenco guitar tecniques (some, there are pretty much dozens, flamenco has a very long history and evolved over the centuries), they don't play the compas, which are the very specific series of accents which makes flamenco, well, sound like flamenco.
By the way, R&G don't claim to be playing flamenco, AFAIK
Anyone know where I can find tab for this? Rodrigo's part, at least? I know you can get the original Metallica One tab just about anywhere, but even before these two get into the Take 5 section, they diverge in significant ways from the original.
I think Rodrigo y Gabriela should do a cover of Metallica's cover of Thin Lizzy's cover of the Irish folk song "Whisky in the Jar". What do you think?
Zeitgeist is a collective mass of bullshit theories and anyone who takes to heart anything in that video is attempting to appear intellectual. Rememeber, all theories in Zeitgeist rely on the validity of the previous theory so one flaw messes everything up. And in the process,makes the directors/writers/conspiricy-fools like idiots.
Just saying man. Make your own decisions,don't allow a poorly orchestrated conspiracy theory to influence your beliefs.
I think Whiskey in the Jar is Metallica's second most overrated and overplayed song, right behind Enter Sandman. One is a close third. Although I must say, I like the Smooth Jazz vibe that's going on during the verses here. Definite switch from the original.
Rodrigo's style is fairly pure Western, but if you watch Gabriela's rhythm technique you'll see her playing is almost pure Flamenco. Whatever you call it, it's _good_!
I thought Take 5 meant it was the fifth take of the song at first, so I got really confused when the second half started and it sounded nothing like One.
@JackLeft13 "Take 5" is the name of a piece of music written by Dave Brubeck. It's a notable piece of Jazz music, because it was the first time any composer of Jazz used a 5/4 time signature.
@g8299 flamingo is a bird that turns pink because of the betacaratine in it's diet. flamenco is a style of music often played on nylon stringed acoustic guitars with a finger style. it is not the only style of music to do this.
@MatigazAko I'm sure he knows that, hence the "quotation marks." And when people think of Flamenco, they usually think of a genre of music; a pretty awesome one, but in this heavily amplified musical market it is often left in the dust, unfortunately. Thankfully, R & G are here to show us they are not mutually exclusive :D
@SpaceCadetSpliff . Stop smoking that Spliff of yourass. No wonder your a SpaceCadet. Too much of that flamingo, you'll turn pink. You think? Que horor por dios por santo, SpaceCadetSpliff unico estupido!
@MatigazAko i think you need to read the description more carefully before you overreact with your comment ""doesnt automatically make it 'flamingo' music AS SOME OF YOU LIKE TO CALL IT" he knows its not called flamingo...
@MatigazAko umm... still they dont play flamenco. They acually dont like poeple labeling their music and stlyle because its a mix of metal ,latin and ather styles... just to clarify :D
@MatigazAko umm... still they dont play flamenco. They acually dont like poeple labeling their music and stlyle because its a mix of metal ,latin and ather styles... just to clarify :D... o and yeah, its flamenco...flamingo is an animal ¬¬
@MatigazAko flamenco is not just a guitar tecnique....its a style of music too! (culture mix between spain and morroco) theres loads of flamenco music which doesnt even have guitars...i dont want to sound like one of those stupid youtube users who does nothing else but correct people, i assure u im not! I see we here all like this music...good taste! Peace from spain!
@MatigazAko yeah i think the guy knows that as he said "as some of YOU like to call it" he doesnt actually think thats what its called, and he also states that having a nylon string guitar doesnt automatically make it flamenco so thanks for your well informed 2 cents but .......... your a dumb ass, and we dont need you to tell us all something we already know, next time read the description!
@JavierC89 Pop isn't a genre. Pop is a classification. Pop just comes from "popular" and at the moment consist of soft rock, dance, R&B and anything else MTV wishes to play. When MTV will start playing Rodriga y Gabriela it will become pop. Pop has no constant description and changes with the years. Example: Nirvana was "pop"(ular), but does definitely not qualify as pop anymore, it's way too heavy for the mainstream. As I said: pop is a classification, not a genre.
@Arcenicum Pop actually is a genre, albeit the one most susceptible to change since, as you said, it relies on other genres to provide it with its tone. Typically, pop is defined by the structure of its songs, which are straightforward, with traditional hook, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, etc., limited to three - four minutes. They tend to use synthesizers and clean sounds, all which lead to their mainstream success. Nirvana was popular, but they are not, by that definition, "pop."
As far as the Classical music thing goes. Metallica and thrash in general descended from Punk, NWOBHM, and the originators of metal Black Sabbath who in turn were very blues influenced and all the origins already mentioned. That is very much true. Yet Cliff Burton was classically trained and taught Hetfield and Ulrich much about song structures. Master of Puppets (the song) is actually structured like a symphony. Fast opening, slower interlude, separate section, and return to the beginning
Seeing as how this is a Metallica song they're covering I don't see how calling it metal is exactly wrong. Plus they were very in thrash/heavy metal before starting down this path. As far as their exact playing style its not really Flamenco its (I believe they've said this ) they're own style possibly cobbled together from others.
I am soooo tired of people saying this is metal. This isn't metal. This is Flamenco & Gypsy. Not Gypsy jazz, Gipsy jazz, Gipsy Kings, but Flamenco & REAL Gypsy style. Watch some real Gypsies play. Django, Joscho Stephan, Jimmy Rosenberg, etc. etc. etc. This is very similar.
This isn't metal. Hair whipping back and forth does not make it metal.

Flamingo is guitar technique, its a finger picking, and gabriella is the one who uses it, rodrigo plays with a pick for the most part.
What amazing players they both are, Just wish i could see it!!!!

@g8299 flamingo is a bird that turns pink because of the betacaratine in it's diet. flamenco is a style of music often played on nylon stringed acoustic guitars with a finger style. it is not the only style of music to do this.

Flamingo music? It's called "FLAMENCO"!! not Flamingo!!! Estupido!!! And FYI, Flamenco is a style/technique in guitar playing.

@MatigazAko I'm sure he knows that, hence the "quotation marks." And when people think of Flamenco, they usually think of a genre of music; a pretty awesome one, but in this heavily amplified musical market it is often left in the dust, unfortunately. Thankfully, R & G are here to show us they are not mutually exclusive :D

@MatigazAko Flamenco is not a techinque, and it isn't just about guitars. It's a genre, like rock or pop.
JavierC89 6 months ago
@JavierC89 Pop isn't a genre. Pop is a classification. Pop just comes from "popular" and at the moment consist of soft rock, dance, R&B and anything else MTV wishes to play. When MTV will start playing Rodriga y Gabriela it will become pop. Pop has no constant description and changes with the years. Example: Nirvana was "pop"(ular), but does definitely not qualify as pop anymore, it's way too heavy for the mainstream. As I said: pop is a classification, not a genre.
Arcenicum 6 months ago
@Arcenicum Pop actually is a genre, albeit the one most susceptible to change since, as you said, it relies on other genres to provide it with its tone. Typically, pop is defined by the structure of its songs, which are straightforward, with traditional hook, verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, etc., limited to three - four minutes. They tend to use synthesizers and clean sounds, all which lead to their mainstream success. Nirvana was popular, but they are not, by that definition, "pop."

As far as the Classical music thing goes. Metallica and thrash in general descended from Punk, NWOBHM, and the originators of metal Black Sabbath who in turn were very blues influenced and all the origins already mentioned. That is very much true. Yet Cliff Burton was classically trained and taught Hetfield and Ulrich much about song structures. Master of Puppets (the song) is actually structured like a symphony. Fast opening, slower interlude, separate section, and return to the beginning
gibsonplyer 11 months ago
Seeing as how this is a Metallica song they're covering I don't see how calling it metal is exactly wrong. Plus they were very in thrash/heavy metal before starting down this path. As far as their exact playing style its not really Flamenco its (I believe they've said this ) they're own style possibly cobbled together from others.

I am soooo tired of people saying this is metal. This isn't metal. This is Flamenco & Gypsy. Not Gypsy jazz, Gipsy jazz, Gipsy Kings, but Flamenco & REAL Gypsy style. Watch some real Gypsies play. Django, Joscho Stephan, Jimmy Rosenberg, etc. etc. etc. This is very similar.
This isn't metal. Hair whipping back and forth does not make it metal.
