Rio Arriba

Neustraße 14, Düsseldorf, Netherlands

Rio Arriba is two friends, Sebastian "Wastl" Rödl and Benedikt "Rio" Raiser-von der Eltz, who play music together. No big production, no choreographed show. Just two guys, guitars, and a lot of covers, from Bob Dylan to Tom Waits, reinterpreted on the spot. They keep it flexible. Sometimes it's just the two of them acoustic, sometimes they bring the full setup with loops and extra layers. Wastl handles the tech, builds live loops so it sounds organic, not like a machine. The whole thing adapts to whatever the event needs, whether that's a wedding, a garden party, or a vernissage. What makes them worth seeing is the vibe. They're not trying to sell you a polished act. They show up, play what feels right in the moment, and genuinely want to have a good time with you. That's basically it. No pretense, just honest music between friends.
