Rodrigo y Gabriela Spin Their Favorite Records

Since breaking out in the early 2000s, Rodrigo y Gabriela have built one of the most distinctive catalogs in modern guitar music - Grammy-winning albums, flamenco-laced covers, and a sound that draws as much from heavy metal as it does from traditional Mexican music. We caught up with the duo at the Discogs Listening Room in Mexico City to dig through their record collection, hear the albums that influenced them most, and find out what they're still listening to today.
