Query to the music lovers out there

[theonlymegumegu]

Thanks to fugli, I was reminded of a music pair that my brother had actually introduced me to awhile back, but I couldn't hold the name in memory (and neglected to transcribe it), so forgot about it. The pair in question is Rodrigo Y Gabriela. I really love this kind of Spanish guitar influenced sound... anyone have any suggestions for similar music,

never heard of them, but there is a group I really like Called Radio Tarifa, they blend Spanish Flamenco with Middle Eastern/Arabian influences.
So good:

Hmm, not bad. Sampled a few tracks on each album off iTunes. Got anything that's strictly instrumental?

BTW, check out my bro's song "Holio" http://myspace.com/wicketsqually I think it was partially inspired by Rodrigo Y Gabriella, but also at my prodding, as he played bits of it a lot before I always told him I really liked it.

I like Federico Aubele's album Gran Hotel Buenos Aires. It's basically Latin Dub/Trip Hop. There are a few tracks from it on his myspace website: http://www.myspace.com/aubele

Classical Spanish guitar music and flamenco are just beautiful :3

Hmm, just sampling bits, but it seems a bit on the mellow side for what I like. Also, do you have anything strictly instrumental to recommend?

And, feel free to check out my bro's track, "Holio" http://myspace.com/wicketsqually It's one of my fave songs of his.

If you're looking for more of the spanish style guitar sound, probably should check out Al di Meola, from what I remember of my parent's tapes, it's pretty much all instrumental - mostly guitar. Another group would be the Gypsy Kings.
