“Al poco tiempo de observar a la humanidad en toda su carnalidad descubrió una cosa: con qué poco se estaba conformando Caetano, su antiguo novio. De tener cuerpo, Perla se la habría chupado mejor.” HumorSexo Author:Joselo Rangel
“We in Cafe Tacvba try different things every time there's an arrangement opportunity with a new song. But I'm not the only one who plays guitar. As Rubén Albarrán was saying, exploring distinct paths is a way for us to feel alive, or feel like we're doing something different.” TryingDifferentSongOpportunityPathExploring Author:Joselo Rangel
“"Que No," Cafe's Tacvba latest single, has Sixties characteristics which we haven't done before, and "Matando" also has certain elements we hadn't come across. For me, it's difficult to say "it's this influence" or "it comes from there." Maybe it's easy for one to listen externally and identify influences.” DoneEasyDifficultInfluenceSixty Author:Joselo Rangel
“I like listening to classic rock. I know that all Cafe Tacvba members have different influences and sometimes they show and other times they don't.” DifferentSometimesInfluenceListeningClassic Author:Joselo Rangel
“Perhaps the bands emerging nowadays don't have the right context around them to help them grow. We were born at the right moment where everything was happening. There was a great interest for rock en español and it was everywhere. The audience, labels and the media were all interested; everything was there. We wanted to present music that was very personal to us, and it continues being that way.” MomentsHelpingInterestAudienceEmergingRight Moment Author:Joselo Rangel
“Cafe Tacvba make the music that naturally comes out of us. Since the beginning we've done what we wanted and people were interested. The public liked it and we were able to grow without any issues from the industry - well, when that record industry existed. I don't know how it went for other bands of the time, but we had that liberty.” PeopleDoneLiberty Author:Joselo Rangel
“We don't think of ourselves in Cafe Tacvba as representatives. When we go and make new material, we feel that our creations are more authentic if we think of ourselves. We don't say, "Let's be the representatives and show the moment that our society is in." But when it comes to performing and we visit other countries, like New York, many people approach us, people who are outside of their own country, and we become a referent. Our shows become this sort of ritual, and our performances become that moment of identity.” PeopleThinkingCountryMomentsCreationIdentityPerformingRitual Author:Joselo Rangel
“I'm not sure how each one of us sees ourselves in the band, but we're being part of this ritual of identity where people see Café Tacvba as something Mexican, as a representation of the Mexican. The songs, the music, the energy given in a concert. Sometimes I question that there's not much decision from our part, like there's something that leads us to this. Something beyond.” PeopleSometimesSongEnergyDecisionIdentityNot SureRitualRepresentationMexican Author:Joselo Rangel
