Revolutionary.......2005-05-06

This is considered by many as Café Tacvba's best album ever, a statement in which I definitely agree.

It is quite difficult to define what this album represents, it shows definitely an evolution, and even though the lyrics' formula is basically the same as in the first album (topics regarding the Mexican culture that go from being for a while in the subway of Mexico city to the old customs of the `Tlatoanis') what made this album so compelling was the wide variety of musical styles that the band decided to include for this work.

During this album we could see where the band was going, Emmanuel started to sing (a pretty cool slam song entitled `El borrego'), the vocalist started to change names (he was known as `Cosme' for this album) and the musical direction they took was vast.

`La ingrata' is nothing but a traditional Mexican song about relationships the Mexican way, `El ciclon' is a song reminiscent of the old progressive rock bands, `Esa noche' a very beautiful ballad about a love long lost.

The 20 tracks included in this album are just unbelievable, every song is different to the other and there is not a single musical style in which to catalogue this album. They attempted several styles and succeeded in all. I can guarantee you that this album will not disappoint but the opposite, everything in this album is just so well done, from the graphic design in the inside booklet to the contents of the cd.

This is a musical jewel that must be part of every music lover collection, regardless of the type of music you like, this album has 20 most enjoyable songs. This album was released in 1994 and I still remember me listening to it all the time in my walkman, a couple of years ago I found it on CD and didn't hesitate to buy it, more that 10 years have passed and this is an album through which years won't pass. A must for music collectors.

Demo of what a great band does.......2004-08-23

This CD is awesome, it makes you think, sing, and dance, all in a smart way. Unlike many songs out there, every song from Re has something interesting to say, accompanied with the sound that characterizes Cafe tacvba for incorporating traditional mexican music with that of their own. The CD has good lyrics, and makes its listening very enjoyable.I definitely recommend it.

Simplemente lo mejor.......2004-06-25

Sin duda este disco fusiona el folclor y música típica mexicana, rock y pop. Un gran clásico imperdible para los amates de la música.

ElFeGo FaN.......2004-03-21

If you are a Cafeta fan, you'll really like this cd. This cd has a big range of variety in the moods, styles, rhythms, and everything. You realy can't get bored with this cd. Some of the best songs (to me) is Fin de infancia, Esa Noche, and La Pinta...but like i said, all of them are awesome. If you like this cd, i highly recommend that you check out their other cds like cuatro caminos, valle campana, and tiempo transcurrido. Yeah, what else can i say....they rock. Elfego rocks!!!! aweeee man!!!

Addictive.......2004-02-27

Re by Cafe Tacuba is one of those albums you hear is good from a friend. So you buy it, put it in your cd player, and the first time you hear it it seems odd - like nothing you've heard before. It's Mexican pop music, for sure, but somehow it's deeper, richer and more inventive than you ever might have expected. You decide to leave it in your player and listen to it a few more times, to fully understand it. Before you know it, a week has gone by and you're humming the melodies to Re in the street, and it's not boring to put it on when you get back. It's got so much to keep you in thrall: beatlesque/XTC/radioheadesque pop, mexican guitars, ska, death metal, el mariachi, etc. etc. etc.

After a few weeks you take the disc out of your player and put it on a shelf, but the sounds will always be with you. Those sounds will always bring back the moments of your life when you first purchased Re. It's THAT good of an album.

So, I'm telling you now. Re is a good album, you should pick it up and give it a listen - and let a new season of your life begin.

Cafe Tacuba have a kind of childish mood that may bother some people. If there is a basic story in their lyrics is about the problem of love among younsters, the simple desire for dance, and the weird aspects of love and reality. However, their strenght is their high quality as musicians. Mainly, what should be stressed is both their high capacity for styles mixture and their highly creative covers. They jump from "ranchera" to ska, or reagge , or trash , or disco. Their covers of "Ojalá que llueva café" (Juan Luis Guerra), "No controles" (Mecano) or "Cómo te extraño" (Leo Dan) demonstrate both their creativity and exploration over different kind of music. Tiempo transcurrido is probably the best example of all their "chamaleonistic" capacity. Undoubtely, one of the best recopilation in the rock en español era.

THE GREATEST BAND OF THIS CENTURY!!!.......2002-12-31

I hate greatest hit albums, but whatever you end up buying of Cafe Tacuba, I GUARANTEE, you will not be dissapointed. I prefer getting each album by itself because only they know why they set them up the way they did, but if you'd like to get a taste of their flavor then a greatest hits is the way to go.

I'm a very picky musician, but Cafe Tacuba set me straight and made me an addict. I bought the album "RE" about 3 weeks ago, i listen to it EVERY ... DAY!!! and up to now, i have not got tired of it. I recommend anything that the Tacubos put their hands on. PEACE!

The best of latin music through Domingo's voice.......1999-08-10

This CD goes wherever I go, it is with no doubt, the queen of my collection. Medleys are wonderfully orchestrated and arranged and every song makes you travel anywhere between Mexico and Buenos Aires. Here, Domingo's voice is more like a musical instrument than anything else and each song you'll discover a new instrument. Honestly, I would personally award it six stars.

Classic Latin American tunes beautifully sung and produced,.......1998-12-11

Domingo's love for traditional Latin American music shines throughout this CD. A selection of great "standards", beautifully arranged and recorded by one of the world's great voices. "De Mexico a Buenos Aires," written by Domingo's son is the one original song on the recording and is one of many highlights here. I have listenned to this CD countless times over the past two years and it remains a delight.

The Best of Cafe Tacuba.......2005-09-12

A really good mexican rock band, who has been able to mix the sounds of the rock music with the folklore music from Mexico is just pure bliss achieved by only Cafe Tacuba.

In celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the Unplugged, they re-realesed the cd along with a dvd.

Every song is good, you wont be disapponted with it, it's the best of the best

Chiderrimísimo!.......2005-08-31

Yo creo que este CD y DVD no necesita más publicidad, quien quiera que haya visto el Cafe Tacvba MTV unplugged lo compra y listo. Si no lo viste, pos te lo recomiendo muchísimo. For those who do not speak Spanish, just buy it, it is fantastic.

What We've Been Waiting For.......2005-07-23

This is without a doubt a must have for any Cafe Tacuba fan. The bands energy and cameraderie is infectious. The "unplugged" arrangements of the songs are nothing but amazing. Living in the US, I'd never been able to see the Unplugged, but had heard bootleg copies of a few of the songs. This is a musical treat that I can watch over and over. Ruben Albarran is in top form, with his trademark voice, gravelling his way through tunes like "La Ingrata". Then, he turns around a sings a song like "Esa Noche" in voice so pure and beautiful it can break your heart. Just a top notch performance. If you think you won't like it because the lyrics are in Spanish.. this is your chance to open your mind to something a little different. I promise you, you won't be disappointed.

Best `onplog' ever!.......2005-07-11

The year was 1996 just after releasing their second album, `Re' (considered by many as his best album so far). Mtv invited Café Tacvba to perform in the popular series of MTV `unplugged'

The CD

The band was in what I personally think his best moment, the moment in which they transitioned and started to experiment with new sounds and music for their second album. This unplugged opens with the very first two tracks from `Re', `El aparato' and `La ingrata' in acoustic versions that resemble the originals. The good stuff starts in track 3 with the acoustic version of `El metro', Emmanuel is just unbelievable playing the piano in this one, Quique Rangel on the bass gives to this version a unique sound.

The band's producer, Gustavo Santaolalla makes a special appearance as a guest in a couple of songs, `Esa noche' and `El baile y el salon', being the latest the best song from the album, the arrangement they made with the violin (Luis Antonio Franco) gives this song the sense of loneliness the lyrics talk about.

Also, an historical moment for the band is here, the first time they sang `Las flores' with the guapango arrangement Alejandro Flores did, Cosme and Alejandro battling over the lyrics for the first time ever on a live performance are unbelievable and resembling of the old Mexican movies in which Pedro Infante did the same with his co-protagonists.

This edition also includes `Una mañana' (originally sung by Jose Jose), way before recording their studio version for the CD tribute to Jose Jose, this version was not aired when the unplugged came out for the first time, so finally having the unplugged on DVD and having an extra song never released before make this item even more collectible for a fan of the band.

The mixing sound of the album is pretty good, all the instruments sound clear and no aging can be perceived on the recording (considering this was recorded almost 10 years ago)

The DVD

This is basically the video version of the audio CD, but more complete, there are some dialogues between songs here that are not present on the CD. Seeing Cosme showing off his breasts is definitely one of the funniest things of this DVD.

No more extras than the announced documentary can be found on the DVD. The unplugged by itself is enough reason to buy it as the piece of history this document represents for Mexican rock and roll. The documentary shows a little `behind the scenes' and rehearsal from 10 years ago and then takes you to present day to Café Tacvba's recording studio were they host a reunion with the musicians involved in the unplugged in 1996. it is fun to see them all together telling anecdotes as they watch the unplugged together, the only person not present in the reunion is Santaolalla, who makes a `special' appearance at the end that was completely unnecessary and could have not been there.

The image quality is not so good overall; but on the other hand, the 5.1 mixing sound is superb (stereo option is obviously included).

Both items are sold separately and on a special edition that included CD+DVD, I definitely recommend the latter, the price difference is not that large and both discs are worth having better together. The design and presentation of the album is also very interesting.

Que pena!!.......2005-06-29

Me parece un disco muy chingon, y con mucho contenido artistico, en cuanto a todos los sentidos posibles, me parece que la presentacion es muy buena, si no fuera por que la imagen se ve que es de años atras, pareceria que el disco fue grabado en este mes, por que hay tanta calidad como la siguen teniendo hoy en dia, solo tengo 17 años, aunque para el año en que salio este Unplugged ni si quiera escuchaba a Cafe Tacvba, es un gran disco.

Comprenlo, y regalenlo, es muy bueno, pero recomiendo que mejor compren el de Un Viaje, segun mi opinion, aunque si eres fan de Cafe Tacvba, debes tener este CD+DVD.!!!!!

This is Cafe Tacuba's first album and the one that put them on the map, and not just in "rock en español" circles. Straight out of the gate they show as much allegiance to the mosh pit as to their Mexican roots, but it is the clever blending of the two that gives them such appeal on both sides of the border. Sometimes irreverent and humorous, this five-piece outfit comes on at times like Madness in sombreros, while at other times they tackle ballads, norteños, and straight pop ditties. Underlying it all is a cultural edge and awareness in their music that demands serious attention, albeit not at the expense of having a really good time. In the process, Cafe Tacuba carve out a diverting and singular territory all their own. --Derek Rath

A promising band.......2005-05-06

It was the year of 1992 and the rock scene in Mexico was swarming with new bands, each one with a different style and proposal. One of those bands was Café Tacvba, named after a coffee shop in Mexico city, today (13 years later) they are still one of the few good Mexican rock bands.

This debut album with a variety of themes in the lyrics and with a very `mexican' style in its music, showed what seemed to be a very promising band. The vocal style that Sizu Yantra has (that's the most recent name that the vocalist has adopted, another peculiarity about the band) is quite different to what you expect from a vocalist, in time you get used to it and you actually get to like it, his style has evolved and improved ever since. `Las batallas' and `Maria' are a couple of ballads in which you can easily see the richness of their music and lyrics, and, on the other hand, we have `Las persianas' and `Rarotonga', two songs that are totally different in style and ideas, ideas that were fresh then and still are today (the `Rarotonga' video was definitely a keeper)

Even though the songs mentioned above were the singles released, my favorite tracks are the less known songs, `El catrin', `Labios jaguar' and `La zonaja' are songs in which you enjoy the music, but not as much as the lyrics, and this is mostly because Café Tacvba talks about the Mexican culture in their albums, in `El catrin' we hear the story of a guy that seems to have gotten out from a lottery card, `Labios jaguar' deals with a guy involved in relationship with a French type girl while he analyzes the advantages of being with a `trajin princesa' instead.

Bottomline, a very interesting proposal and a very enjoyable album to listen to, regardless of the other albums they have released ever since, `Café Tacvba' remains as one of my personal favorites, fresh ideas and a different proposal in this album made of Café Tacvba what they are today: one of the greatest Latin-American rock bands.

tomando café.......2004-10-31

this band from méxico is amazing. their first album is an epilogue of unexpected music to come from café tacvba. a very good album in its own respect, talking about, most likely, experiences of the past ("las batallas", "la zonaja"), and the area in which they live ("el catrin"). Also just going out of line with songs like "las persianas" about a lover killing the beloved, but ironically with an upbeat rhythm. though the album is great two tracks ("rarotonga", "cometer suicidio") keep this album from getting a five-star. not bad songs but ones that are "tired out" once they are heard at least four or five times. Anyone who wants to hear something different or just want to hear some good music from méxico are recommended to buy this album. the album is filled with upbeat songs, an occasional slow song here and there, and just plain good music all the way. those who are way too focused on mainstream need not apply.

la secu 23.......2001-04-29

introduces us to the many moods of the tacubitos. fun lyrics and music. how desperate of attention would you be to try to drown yourself en el excusado?

Maria , Maria.......2001-02-16

Wow! Cafe Tacuba is a 4 piece band with great talent! This First album is gorgeously made. The most powerful song on the album is Maria, this song will remind all of us of the beauitful feeling of being in love! It sounds as if he is singing Marjorie, Marjorie but he is not he is singing Maria, Maria. Cafe Tacuba will always be around and if I had to start with one album this will be the one. Go ahead and order it through Amazon and you will not be disappointed. bye.

"Coolisimo".......1999-12-23

This album left me in shock. I honestly did not think I would get so attached to one group. Before I never would have pictured myself listening to this type of music, but with one listen of this band opened my ears to another level of music. Trust me, you wont be disappointed if you buy this album, it ROCKS!

A quite enjoyable surprise.......2005-05-06

I have never been a fan of cover albums, and I must say that in 1996 when I heard that Café Tacvba's next album would be full of covers, I was quite disappointed. Especially when a couple of years ago this same band criticized other bands for doing covers, now they were releasing an album full of those!

I am not sure but I believe that for this album the vocalist changed his name to `Anonimo', the album includes covers from Flans (an 80's pop band), Botellita de Jerez (another mexican rock band) and Leo Dan among others. It has only 8 tracks, but the eight of them are quite enjoyable.

Even though the songs were not new, what I never considered was that they changed the original music to the Café Tacvba style, which is totally unpredictable. Their version of `Chilanga Banda' made me buy this album, very different from the original, you basically know is the same song because of the title and the lyrics, everything else is totally café Tacvba. Their rendition of `No controles' was another pleasant surprise, especially when I never liked Flans, there's also an instrumental version of `Perfidia' which is one of my favorites, but the song that is really worth of mentioning is `Ojala que llueva café' (original by Juan Luis Guerra), the arrangement they made I promise you no one saw it coming, the last part of the song is now a classic thing an cheered in every concert they give.

If you can buy the special edition they released I would recommend it, it is a carton paper case with a very interesting work of design (as most of their albums)

Maybe not their best album, but a very rare and interesting piece of music that should be a guide to other bands on how to do a cover song, the only thing you need to do is adapt it to your style to make it different from the original and unique, and that's what Café Tacvba did in this album.

"No Manches Dice La Changa".......2005-04-24

I usually stay away from cover albums, but this one isn't like all the others. "No Controles" sounds nothing like the original version and it features David Byrne (Talking Heads) siging backing vocals. "Chilanga Banda" is hilarious and "Como Te Extrano Mi Amor" reminds me of my childhood. I think my parents used to listen to the original version a lot. All the other songs are great too, but I usually skip the instrumental. I wouldn't recommend this album to newcomers though. The best of album or Re would be the best places to start. After that you'll end up wanting everything by Cafe Tacuba.

Extraordinaria producción.......2003-05-17

Café Tacuba tomó ocho temas de otros compositores, versionándolos con su estilo y logrando una colección realmente brillante. Es indudable el talento y la inteligencia con que cuenta la banda dados los arreglos que hicieron de los temas.

-Chilanga Banda: es la canción de 'ch' por el uso exagerado de esa letra. Un tema de Juan Jaime López, muy divertido.
-Metamorfosis: un tema muy suave.
-No controles: una versión bastante más violenta de este tema de Nacho Cano que la que cantaban las chicas de Flans. La considero incluso mejor que la original.
-No me comprendes: una hermosa pieza, melancólica.
-Alármala de tos: el tema más acelerado del disco, muy, muy Tacuba.
-Perfidia: una pieza instrumental, original de Alberto Domínguez.
-Ojalá que llueva café: una versión del conocido tema de Juan Luis Guerra...simplemente brillante.
-Como te extraño mi amor: del argentino Leo Dan, es probablemente la mejor canción del disco (o solo superada por Ojalá que llueva café).

Cool covers.......2002-02-27

Cafe tacuba is one of the most interesting bands along with aterciepolados on the modern rock en español scene. These covers are very cool. Cafe tacubas style is hard to describe, I would say they are a ska rock band mixed with ranchera, industrial, pop, punk....They really have a unique sound. You only get 8 tunes here, but it is still worth it, the cover of "No Controles" absolutly rocks, as does "chilanga Banda" and the instrumental "perfidia" is neat as is "metamorfosis".

If you are sick of the normal "alternative rock" bands on the north american scene, then definitly check out groups like cafe tacuba whom are putting out some refreshing, original work.

Avalancha De Exitos - Cafe Tacuba.......2001-04-01

This is probably one of the best albums as far as cover albums go. They covered a few recent hits such as Botellita de Jerez's Alarmala de Toz, which actually sounds better than the original. They also cover the girl band Flan's No Controles in such a way that you would never imagine a male band to cover. They also bring back the popular classic Como te Extrano by Leo Dan. Overall this has to be a very enjoyable album by one of today's most entertaining and best of the spanish rock bands. Cafe Tacuba Rules.

Latin Rhytnm and Flavor...French Style.......2000-10-19

Within the past few years, the boom in Latin culture has grown at a tremendous rate that has astonished many throughout the world. What is it of Latin music that stirs passion and rhythm whenever one listens to its' sounds.

Well, in France, Latin music has been popular for many, many years. Unlike audiences in the English-speaking world, the French have admired Latin music for many reasons. Linguistic similarities, exoticism, and most importantly rhythm gave Latino artists a major audience that could enjoy their sounds.

Compiled by Paris' "Latina Cafe" (which is on the Champs-Elysees), Wagram Records, and Radio Latina 99FM, "Latina Cafe" is an excellent exploration of Latin music on two compact discs. The first disc, which explores the classics of Latin music features such stars as Hector LaVoe, Gilberto Gil, Fulanito, Oscar D'Leon and many more others who lend their talents on this compilation. In my opinion, the highlights of this disc have to be La Lupe's version of the Peggy Lee classic "Fever," which she sings in a heavy Spanish accent. Singing in both English and Spanish, La Lupe was one of Latin music's greatest divas, and her devout gay following have made her an icon due to her ability to use flamboyance and sing with earthly passion and soul. Celia Cruz's "La Vida es Un Carnaval" is the ultimate song that showcases Celia's amazing vocals and passion whenever she sings. If this song that doesn't get you up and moving, then there is something terribly wrong with you.

Disc Two explores Spanish & Portuguese music heavily influenced by new age electronica. Unlike today's electronica, the music on this disc is done so to capture the rhythm of the song and not to send you on a trance. Songs like "Maracatu Atomico" by Zuco 103 and "Samba" by Faze Action will send you into a dreamworld where everything Brazilian surrounds your soul. On the Spanish-language side, "Cada Vez" by Negrocan and "Pienso en Ti" will do the same, only with a much more tropical feeling.

Disc one has over 68 minutes of music, while disc two has 78 minutes. Since it is imported from France, the packaging along with booklet is written in French. However, this shouldn't rule your purchase of this great compilation out. Try "Latina Cafe" for an excellent and sensational listening experience. When I first heard it playing at a store in Manhattan, it captured me entirely. Listen to it, and it will do the same to you as well.

Home brewed coffee.......2000-09-24

The collection albums are very helpful guidelines for people who want to learn about a new kind of music. Latina Café is a very good example for new blood latin music in this sense. The first CD is mellower and has only few well-known oldies with new "taste" like " Besame Mucho" & " Me Cente". It fits perfectly to the Sunday morning multi-sectioned newspaper sessions with dark coffee. The second CD has more flavors in it. " Rio Vida" is like a warm welcome to a new section but " Coca Conga" is a song for a new experience. Now you are in a new world where classical Latin melodies and instruments meet with European funky / jazzy approach. All of these songs complement with all flavored caffes you can imagine. However my favorite part of the record is last half of the second CD. From the beginning of "Tu Quiers Cucharas" featuring ROXY, the Latina Café is starting to become a cool club on Champs-Elysees. My favorite songs " El ritmo de verdad" and " "Cada Vez" are very up beat, rhythmic. Maybe you cannot fly to Paris for the weekend but you'd make " Home brewed coffee with spices " this weekend and let "Latina Café " escort you.

¡Qué grande es esto del amor!.......2007-06-18

If you like Spanish music, prepare to be amazed. Not only these singers are talented, but they put all their soul in their's songs. Great musicality, great style, humor and love in all these songs. There's not going to be one song on this CD that you're going to say "I don't like it".

Café Quijano wrote the lyrics for and sang Disney's Lilo & Stitch main song for the Spanish doubling, called "Ardiente Amor" ("Burning Love").
In 2004 they composed Spanish National Football Team song for that year's Eurocup, called "Sírvame una Copita" (Pour me a drink).
They were among the artists selected by Armando Manzanero to make his record "Duetos" (Duets), in which they sing "Esperaré" ("I'll Wait"). Outstanding Cuban musician Pancho Amat collaborated in their first disc, Olga Tañon sings with them in "La Taberna del Buda" and in their last production they sing with Joaquín Sabina and Celine Dion.

Uno de los mejores CD's de la historia del rock en español.......2003-11-26

"La Taberna del Buda" es una obra de puro arte. Cada canción es una pieza de excelencia. La letra y la música son igualmentes inspiradas. Nunca antes había yo escuchado a este grupo, y estoy MUY agradecido por la buena suerte de haber descubierto a un trío de genios musicales tanto como son los hermanos Quijano. Intento seguir coleccionando a todos sus CD's.

Joyous, fun, good natured music!.......2005-12-03

The music of the Quijano brothers radiates with joy. I don't know Spanish, so maybe some of the lyrics deal with tragedy but I kind of doubt it. There is a certain humorous, knowing tone to their rich, crooning voices that is reflected in their impish grins in the cover photos. The artwork (their handsome mugs played against leg shots of hot babes) is almost worth the price of the CD alone because you just have to laugh, which is appropriate for this good-natured music, expertly performed. This is one of the most ENJOYABLE CDs I have heard in a long time.
