This historical recording from MTV's unplugged series is amazing, but than again Cafe Tacuba is amazing to the infinite degree. They are the Mexican Beatles. This is not just hype, their longevity speaks volumes to there credability. Besides, they have influenced many Roc n Espanol bands so now the musical bar has been raised for Latin rock. This recording , from back in the day,(1995), was done after their introduction to audiences with the release of Re;, many tours and records later and as they say, the rest is history. This disc features the Tacubas in early spuky form. Singer "Cosme" as he was then known(he always changes his nickname or apodo) is in fine youthful form; I believe his most recent name is (was)Sizu Yantra. His winy voice changes with each song almost as frequently as he changes his nickname. Always the innovators, mixing traditional Mexican music with, well, you name it, the musical kitchen sink and the results are breathtaking. This is an acoustic disc so it lacks some of their daring . When they stay close to their roots on numbers like "Esa Noche" the results are sweet. Likewise on "Las Flores," the huapango beat transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. If they venture into a rare ballad, like "Maria," Cosme proves his versatility. However, when Cosme is unleashed on songs like " Bar tacuba" his punky nature is revealed as he transforms a Jose Alfredo Jimenez inspired song into their own in what can only be described as a hybrid Mexican ska. Cafe Tacuba is about attitude in their music and it is clear on songs like "La Chica Banda" that they are taking no prisoners. Having seen them live several times and planning on attending another concert in December, I would say if you can't catch them live, get one of their live CD's. By comparison I would recommend Un Viaje as it is more of a retrospective of their career(recorded in 2005), comes with lots of bonus material and might be just a tad better, if that is possible. Anyway you can't go wrong with either. Buy them both and compare for youself. Great music, by a great band caught early in their career for your musical pleasure.
November 8, 2007A 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
September 12, 2005Yo 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 muchÃsimo. For those who do not speak Spanish, just buy it, it is fantastic.

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.
