The following description comes from the event organizer.

Together since 1989 after meeting while in college, Grammy winners and Mexico City indie rockers Café Tacuba are rightfully credited as the preeminent band to emerge from the rock en español movement of the early '90s. The Mexican quartet has remained one of the biggest acts on the Latin music scene since, inspiring two generations of rockers in their wake. Their self-titled Warner debut in 1992 yielded no less than six hit singles, while its follow-up, 1994's Re -- whose songs remain an active part in their concert set list -- is such a cornerstone of influence, Rolling Stone magazine placed it in the top spot on its list of the 10 Greatest Latin Rock Albums of All Time. Café Tacuba's stage antics and nearly limitless creative endeavors have made them a sell-out touring attraction not only in their home country and throughout Latin America, but in North America and Europe as well. In reality, the Tacubas aren't all that well-served by the "rock en español" tag; the "rock music sung in Spanish" descriptor does little justice to the stylistic diversity and creative strides showcased by Café Tacuba over the course of their career. The band employs a standard rock lineup of guitar/bass/drums with vocals, certainly, but the members also incorporate electronics as well as exotic instrumentation into their music, which encompasses styles as divergent as punk and ballads, as well as regional Mexican sounds like norteña, cumbia, ranchera, and even mariachi and electronica, indie pop, and garage rock. While their sound is instantly recognizable, no Café Tacuba album sounds quite like another, for the band generally pursues a grand artistic vision for each project that goes all the way from the scope of the album to which musical styles will be fused, to which collaborators are best-suited for the performances, to the actual packaging design of each release. While critics look at these reasons to signify Café Tacuba's importance, legions of global music followers are enamored with them simply because of their music, which is broadly appealing not only because of its groundbreaking nature, but also because of it's fun, madcap, and ever-changing. While the band's first few albums are roller coaster rides of willfully whimsical stylistic fusion, at the end of the 20th century with the double release Revés/Yo Soy in 1999, Café Tacuba's music grew more challenging and experimental with each succeeding project, as well as more mature and earnest -- but retained its often surreal sense of humor.

Comprised of Rubén Albarrán (vocals, guitar; born Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega), Emmanuel del Real (keyboards, programming, acoustic guitar, piano, vocals; born Emmanuel del Real Díaz), Joselo Rangel (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals; born José Alfredo Rangel Arroyo), and Enrique Rangel (bass guitar, electric upright bass, vocals; born Enrique Rangel Arroyo), the band began humbly enough as four friends who played rock music in the garage of a house in their neighborhood, Satélite, an upper-middle-class suburban area in the Naucalpan municipality, in the northern region of the sprawling Mexico City metropolitan area. The guys originally called their band Alicia Ya No Vive Aquí, after the 1974 Martin Scorsese film Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. They were influenced principally by alternative rock bands of the '80s like the Cure, the Clash, the Smiths, and Violent Femmes. Despite their English-language influences, they wanted to represent their native culture, so they incorporated Mexican signifiers into their music and changed their name. They chose Café Tacuba, which is the name of an old restaurant located on Calle Tacuba a few blocks west of the zócalo (i.e., town square, or plaza) in the Centro Histórico district of Mexico City. The word Tacuba is another name for Tlacopán (which means "florid plant on flat ground"), a Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican city-state founded on the western shore of Lake Texcoco in the Valley of Mexico. Once Café Tacuba became popular with the release of their debut album, they printed their name with a V in place of the U in Tacuba, thereby steering clear of any legal threat posed by the restaurant of the same name.
