Fan of Rodrigo y Gabriela? Catch them busking on Grafton St today

Mexican guitar virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela are bringing it all back home this lunchtime with a busking session on Dublin's Grafton St.

Mexican guitar virtuosos Rodrigo y Gabriela are bringing it all back home this lunchtime with a busking session on Dublin's Grafton St.

The duo, who paid their dues playing for free on the streets of our capital before gaining worldwide acclaim, are gigging in the National Concert Hall tonight and are keen to take a stroll down memory lane while they are in town.

"What if we busk tomorrow in grafton st before our show at the Irish national concert hall?" they tweeted last night. "Like in the old days.. What you think?"

They have come good on their promise this morning and will be appearing on Grafton St at around half one today.

In case you're wondering why this is a big deal, this is why this is a big deal.

Our favourite-ever performance from the duo, rocking 'Tamacun' on Jools Holland back in 2006.

The two are on tour at the moment promoting their latest album '9 Dead Alive', recorded and produced at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico.

Rob & Gab's last album of new music was 2009's '11:11'. Since then they have collaborated on the soundtracks to both 'Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Shores' and 'Puss N' Boots' and visited Havana to record the 'Area 52' album with a Cuban orchestra.

They also continue tour the world, playing sell out shows last year at the Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks, Colorado.

A long way from playing outside Burger King, you'll agree.

UPDATE:

They said they would, and they did.

The duo came good on their promise, rocking up to the top of Grafton St this lunchtime and proceeding to entertain the crowd.

They also revealed that all monies raised would go to a worthy cause.

A great time was had by all.

And the two took time to meet their fans as well.
