CAFE TACUBA!!
Last Thursday night, the day before we had an EARLY, EARLY (we got up at 3:45am) morning flight to leave for Florianopolis, Brasil, we saw Cafe Tacuba live and in concert. They were AMAZING. Its been a long time since I have been to a concert where the band showed so much energy and enthusiasm, and the audience was giving them just as much back. For those of you that aren't familiar with Cafe Tacuba, they are an alternative rock band from Mexico. Their style is really hard to categorize... one song may have a hard rock feel to it (like "No Controles mis Sentidos'), the next a ballad ("Esa Noche"), the next a disco sound and the next a tejano polka sound (Ingrata).The concert was at the Teatro Gran Rex and started at 9:30pm. It didn't end until midnight. There was no opening act and no breaks. These guys were high energy the whole time. Their music is a mix of Ska, Rock, Hip Hop and traditional Latin Music. They have been around for awhile. I remember first hearing of them when I spent a semester in Puerto Rico in 1996. The members of the group are:
Lead Vocals - Rubén Albarrán
Bass - Quique Rangel
Guitar - Joselo Rangel
Keyboard - Emmanuel del Real
They played all of their hits and the audience was going wild... the audience took their traditional Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole soccer chant and changed the lyrics to Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Cafe, Cafe. And these guys deserved every bit of praise they received. They even had famous "Rock en Español" artists accompany them on a few songs - Alvaro Enríquez of the Chilean group Los Tres and Adrián Dargelos of the Babasónicos (Argentinian).
The crowd went wild when the group played their "final" song, took their bows and left the stage. The cheering was so loud that the band came back.... there was a triple encore with the band playing yet another song, leaving the stage and then coming back again due to the crowds demands. The concert lasted 3 energetic hours. If you ever get the chance to see Cafe Tacuba in concert, its worth it!
