About

CAFÉ TACUBA IN CONCERT:
 
Grammy-winning Latin rock outfit Café Tacuba has been wowing audiences with their eclectic sound and adrenaline-fueled live shows ever since their self-titled 1992 debut album first made them superstars in their native Mexico. Since then the band has won over fans around the world with their dynamic blend of rock, electronica, and folk music traditions, becoming one of Mexico’s chief modern musical exports in the process. At their live shows the band delivers their celebratory music with energy to spare, amping the audience up with call-and-response vocals and dramatic builds and releases. Even though they sing exclusively in Spanish their catchy choruses and infectious rhythms transcend language, appealing to fans of all nationalities. Whether they’re encouraging ticket buyers to clap along to the anthemic “Los Pajaros” or busting out solos on exotic indigenous instruments, Café Tacuba always delivers high-energy sets that fuse wildly diverse sounds into one cohesive and unforgettable concert experience.
 
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
 
Café Tacuba formed in Mexico City in 1989 while singer Ruben Albarran and guitarist Jose Alfredo Rangel were studying graphic design at the city’s Metropolitan Autonomous University. The band’s early sound was heavily influenced by British new wave bands like The Cure and The Smiths, but soon they were incorporating Mexican and indigenous influences to represent their heritage. After performing mostly in garages in the suburban neighborhood of Satelite the group became a fixture of the burgeoning music and arts scene surrounding the Coyoacan area of Mexico City. Their self-titled 1992 debut album combined genres like punk, ska, and hip hop with regional Mexican styles like bolero and ranchera, spawning five popular singles and earning them a Premio Lo Nuestro award for Video of the Year (“Maria”). A string of successful albums followed including 2003’s Cuatro Caminos, which won a Grammy for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album. In addition to their celebrated recordings the band is a touring juggernaut known for their explosive live performances, and they continue to impress every time they hit the road.

    by Corazon on 7/16/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal City

    These guys are one of my favorite bands of all time. And this show was amazing...after 20yrs they still rock and never fail to get the audience jumpin'. I can see them a thousand times and not get tired. They played songs from the last 20yrs and they still sound so fresh and truly inspiring.

    Cafe Tacuba @ Gibson Good energy

    by Cesar91 on 7/16/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal City

    Enjoyed concert. Too many new songs. I would had preferred their older work. The bad tends to do better in smaller venues such as HOB to have a more personal feeling to the concert.

    Cafe Tacvba was unforgettable!!!

    by ChicaRokera on 7/16/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal City

    This was thus far the best concert ever. I love this band and they exceeded my expectations. They rocked the house and more. The coolest thing, I got to meet them after the concert. I won some contest they had and got to hang out with them enjoying a glass of wine. Took pictures and got my ticket autographed. I had an INCREDIBLE time.

    Cafe tacuba was amazing!!!!!!

    by Perez on 7/16/09Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk - Universal City

    As always cafe tacuba was spectacular. This time in particular they just had an extra burst of energy. It being their 20 year anniversary I think they just left it all out on the stage. Theyre sound and energy was amazing. As long as cafe tacuba keeps coming back to L.A. I will continue to go see them. I have not missed any of their concerts in L.A. in the past 15 years!!
