Rodrigo Sanchez v the U.S. State Department

I really hate to hear that Rodrigo Sanchez -- of the Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela -- has been denied entry into the U.S. because of what appears to a mistaken identity situation. John sent me the link to this BBC News article this morning.

What a shame for them...and for so many of their American fans who will now miss out seeing them in concert.

Their self-titled CD is really special. I especially love their version of Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven". If you are a fan of innovative acoustic guitar music, you should definitely give this CD a listen.
