Ticketmaster and Live Nation customers will receive access to a pre-sale running Thursday, 13 June at 10 a.m. through 10 p.m. PT. Café Tacvba is widely recognized as the leading alternative rock band in Mexico and one of the most influential alternative groups from Latin America, leading a nonconformist music movement with its mix of elements such as rock, indigenous folk, electronic music and punk. With a career spanning 30 years, they continue to expand a massive audience of devoted fans throughout the Americas, Europe and beyond. They have won multiple Latin Grammys and a Grammy, and their album "Re" was named as the "Latin rock album No. 1 of all time" in 2013 by Rolling Stone. Beginning in the '80s as a garage band of graphic design students in the Satélite neighborhood of Mexico City, it took the name of Café Tacuba (later changed to Cafe Tacvba) in 1989, when the lineup solidified. Today, it is still in force with Rubén Albarrán on vocals and guitars, guitarist José Alfredo Rangel (Joselo), bassist Enrique Rangel (Quique) and keyboardist Emmanuel del Real (Meme). Their need to present a mix of rock, new age and regional Mexican sounds with cheerful irreverence made them a sensation in the club scene in Mexico City, and caught the attention of Argentine producer Gustavo Santaolalla, who produced their first album, "Café Tacuba" in 1992, beginning a long and fruitful collaboration in the albums to come. |
