![]() Nevertheless, they followed up their magnum opuses with the genre-defying Avalancha de Éxitos (1996), a covers album that contains some of their most memorable numbers like “Chilanga Banda,” and the mind-bogglingly experimental double album Revés/Yo Soy (1999). Had they only produced those two records, the group would have still gone down in history as one of the best rock bands of all time. They embraced the folkloric sounds of their native country in their critically lauded self-titled debut Café Tacvba (1992) and their undisputed masterpiece Re (1994), an eclectic and dexterous tribute to Mexico’s music that won them critical and international success. ![]() Named after a famous coffee spot in Mexico City, Café Tacvba formed in the late ‘80s in the Mexican capital. Bastions of the rock en español wave of the ‘90s, the group have managed to evolve and permutate with every new record, stretching the limits of what is possible for a four-piece rock group, regardless of language or country of origin. Café Tacvba are undoubtedly one of the most transcendental Latin American acts of all time.
