Follow-up: visa snafu resolved for Rodrigo y Gabriela

Several days ago we told you how visa problems were endangering the U.S. tour plans of Mexican brother and sister act Rodrigo y Gabriela. Thankfully, there is good news for us gringos who enjoy their eclectic mix of acoustic rock:

“Rodrigo Sanchez…has successfully procured his Entertainment Working Visa from the American Embassy in Mexico City on Friday March 23, 2007. Mr. Sanchez is officially clear to continue Rodrigo Y Gabriela's highly-anticipated U.S. tour beginning on April 14 in Los Angeles, CA”.

The pair rescheduled several of their gigs in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City and announced new performances in Europe and on July 1st at Central Park. (Yay! Better get the sunscreen ready!)
