CafA© Tacuba - Re

Los Tacubos y Los Sodas - Los Monarcas

Vine a escuchar mucho de esta banda hace par de meses. Antes no me atraian mucho. haste que vi que eran comparados con mi banda favorita de todos los tiempos, Soda Stereo. Fue tanto el interes en querer saber mas de la banda, que me puse a buscar su musica. Este fue el primer disco que encontre, y al sol de hoy, tengo que escuchar porlomenos una cancion de este disco, DIARIA. Una obra maestra, combinando musica folclorica mexicana con el rock, el jazz, y ondas alternativas. La voz de Cosme es una voz variante, y a la ves, unica. Clave de la agrupacion. Mi cancion favorita, "El Baile y El salon", es una gran cancion. Es hasta el fin de la cancion que te das cuenta que habla d euna pareja homosexual, creo ke eso es parte d ela belleza de la musica de los Tacubos, que traen un mensaje universal lleno de solidaridad. Cafe Tacvba se a convertido en una de mis banda sfavoritas de todos los tiempo, gracias a este gran disco.

Revolutionary

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

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. August 22, 2004

ElFeGo FaN

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!!! March 21, 2004
