CAFE TACUVA, A MEXICAN BAND LIVE AT THE ELECTRIC BRIXTON LONDON photo by Roger Alarcon

“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
