There's a very good chance that this is a tribute to Gabriela... the Mexicana Goddess of rhythm.
Man, Gabriela's grown a beard! That must be some seriously strong mezcal. 
Sorry, it's only a silly joke, feel free to call me stupid.

I did a double-take on this one.  At first I thought this was outstanding acoustic guitarists Rodrigo y Gabriela.  A very similar sound.

From the artists official site (https://www.opalocean.com.au/)
Through their intricate technique and intensely mesmerizing, psychedelically-tinged spin on the acoustic sound, Opal Ocean unleashed a monumental set of captivating songs for their full-length debut record Lost Fables in 2016, which would go on to establish their name across the globe as they toured through Canada, New Zealand, and Europe. From significant highlights & achievements along the way like their crowd-funded single “Mexicana,” being featured at festivals, doing interviews, receiving critical acclaim from all corners of the map, and the release of their second album The Hadal Zone in 2020 – Opal Ocean surged throughout the scene with music that spoke volumes on behalf of their chemistry & authenticity. It wasn't only the fans at home in Australia anymore – it wasn’t even only the fans they'd gained from their tireless tours around the world – the industry itself began to take notice too; the legendary Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater lent his time & talent to support them on “Polycephaly” from The Hadal Zone.

Opal Ocean has been thriving as hard as ever, playing the Formula 1 race in Abu Dhabi's Grand Prix in 2021, securing their first official endorsement from Godin Guitars of Canada, and preparing a set-list of supremely exciting songs to be released in 2022
