"When we left for Europe it wasn't with the idea to make it as a band, it was to travel or busk or whatever."

"It's funny because when we were busking, although we were booked for separate events like weddings and corporate events, people were recognising each other from our other gigs and their friends and family members. Once we came to ask for a gig at the Temple Bar. At the time we were saying to ourselves that we shouldn't say that we are buskers but rather that we had jut arrived from Mexico and that we could play music. The thing was they knew we were buskers but gave us the gig anyway."

There had been a few words written that Damien Rice has been partly involved with the pair's success.

"We stopped busking for winter so that we wouldn't freeze," begins Rodrigo. "Damien had seen us play and had been a fan then helped us with one gig. He himself then started growing in Ireland and then invited us to support his gig. Though it was kind of tough because we were supporting Damien Rice but it really worked and then we came back toured again with a traditional Irish band. All that took two years. We decided that when we left Mexico City we were never going to go looking for a record deal again."

It's a feeling echoed by Gabriela. "We did that with our old band. So we would rather fucking concentrate towards playing and being part of the festival than expecting any other things to happen. We were at the time very fucking good buskers or whatever, just living for music. If you were meant to play in this life and you were meant to play an instrument, just fucking play it. Don't try to do your career and keep spending money."

Over time the duo would eventually move away from busking. >>
