About this concert
Café Tacvba vuelve a los escenarios a promocionar más de 33 años de trayectoria musical.
“Beyond the incredible live performance, what stunned me was the rapport the Tacvbos, as they're known, have with their audience.” (NPR Alt.Latino).
“Mexico’s premier rock band… The group invites reckless fun… ” — Ben Ratliff, The New York Times
“They’re bringing their identity to play in a more global game.” — Gustavo Santaolalla, Grammy and Oscar Award-winning producer.
“Because Café Tacvba draws not just from rock and new wave, but from Mexico and Latin America, they have a wider palette than any band I can think of.” — Victor Indrizzo (Beck)
“Number 1 Latin Rock album of All Time (Re). Every album that the Mexican quartet released after this one is just as good, but Re was the one that redefined the rules of the game. It was OK to scoff at Mexico’s norteño roots, provided the nod was as affectionate and inspired as their hit “La Ingrata.” It was valid to embrace the foreign influence of rock & roll and punk, as long as it was blended with authentic Latin sounds. A feeling or reckless enthusiasm permeates Re’s 20 tracks — the wide-eyed grin of a young band discovering the grand achievements it was capable of. ” — Rolling Stone
“Not unlike Radiohead, they just keep evolving in unpredictable ways.” — Nic Harcourt KCRW
“One of the biggest and most iconic Latin American bands.” Billboard

Café Tacvba Biography
Café Tacvba (often spelled Café Tacuba) is a musical group from Naucalpan, Mexico.
Their musical style covers a wide variety of genres, though it is most commonly labeled as Rock en Español. Their music has been heavily influenced by Mexico's indigenous population and folk music traditions, most notable the Jarocho style of the state of Veracruz, but also by punk and electronic music and other bands in the Mexico City scene. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of their music is Albarrán's nasal voice, which, combined with his impressive lung capacity (as demonstrated on La Ingrata, an homage to norteño music), makes for a very distinctive sound. They sing entirely in Spanish but have a significant Anglophone following regardless.
They have an especially eclectic sound, and it's commonly said that none of their discs is of exactly the same genre. For example, María; is a bolero style ballad, "La Ingrata" is a mix of rock and "norteño" , while "Eres", a hit included in "Cuatro Caminos" album, is mostly pop-rock.
They were founded in 1989, and since then have had the same musical lineup:
* Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega aka "Pinche Juan" ("Fuckin Juan"), "Cosme", "Anónimo" (Anonymous), "Nrü" (pronounced "dshyoo", [dʃju] in IPA), "Amparo Tonto Medardo In Lak'ech" (or "At Medardo ILK"), "G3", "Gallo Gasss", "Élfego Buendía", "Sizu Yantra" (which is his solo moniker as well), "Rita Cantalagua", "Ixi Xoo" and many others. (vocals, guitar)
* Emmanuel "Meme" del Real Díaz: (keyboards, acoustic guitar, piano, programming, vocals, melodion)
* José Alfredo "Joselo" Rangel Arroyo: (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals)
* Enrique 'Quique' Rangel Arroyo: (bass guitar, electric upright bass, vocals)
Mexican folk music player Alejandro Flores is considered the 5th tacubo, as he has played the violin in almost every Café Tacuba concert since 1994. Since the Cuatro Caminos World Tour, Luis "El Children" Ledezma has played the drums in every concert but is not considered an official member of the band.
