There are some bands and musicians that play music that has a kind of feel or 'flavor' too it. Sometimes it is delicious.
Rodrigo Y Gabriela are 2 guitarists that add that delicious latin flavor to exciting rhythm and melodic guitar excersizes that are as innovative as they are fun. Their dynamic playing personalities come through in the form of technical ability, a bit of that latin flavor, and beating the shit out of their guitars.
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Tamacun
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Diablo Rojo
Rodrigo y Gabriela - Stairway To Heaven
There are other bands that have a more "party" flavor. The kind of band that makes one want to jump around and have a good time. A combination of happy 70s sunshine rock, funk, hip-hop, with an interesting use of a couple of samples, some great harmonica solos, it sounds like a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack having a crazy fun party time. The Go! Team is a barrel of fun.
The Go! Team - Panther Dash
The Go! Team - Junior Kickstart
The Go! Team - Bottle Rocket

how would you compare Rodrigo y Gabriela to CSS or some other reasonably known "latin flavor"-ed group? Or rather, how does their style differentiate them from such groups?
also, the Go! Team puts on a helluva show. see 'em live, if you get the chance.
