Can you identify these musicians?

March 18, 2008 1:56 PM

My wife saw a Latin American guitar duo on late night TV (UK) about six months ago and wants to find out who they are. Can you help? She'll love you all forever!

It was a man and woman. The man was older and had been established in his own right before being joined by the girl (and I think they are now married). Their performing name was something like Jule et Julia, she says (name et name, anyway!) but I can't track them down for her and it's driving her bonkers. Any idea who they might be, please? Thanks guys! (and gals too of course)

Some of the details don't match, but I'd still guess it was Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Rodrigo and Gabriela definitely bring classical guitar to the mainstream, as it were.

I knooow this isn't them, but fyi if she likes classical guitar duo stuff, Sergio and Adair Assad are stellar.

If it's not Rodrigo y Gabriela you might want to try Waller and Maxwell, Newman and Oltman, Amadeus, Castellani-Andriaccio, Duo Melis, Shiota, or Art of Music.

Probably Rod y Gab, but 50 years ago the awesome Presti/Lagoya duo would have almost fitted the bill (French not Latin American)

When I told her this, the answer was "ah, yes, of course, that was it!" - so well done everyone, thanks so much! I've ordered her a CD of them from amazon this very evening. Yay for MeFi and thank you!
