Biography
Café Tacvba is a Mexican band founded in 1989; they are known by their fans as “Los Tacubos.” They have had the same musical lineup since the beginning: Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega (vocals, guitar), Emmanuel "Meme" del Real Díaz (keyboards, acoustic guitar, piano, programming, vocals), José Alfredo "Joselo" Rangel Arroyo (guitars, vocals), and Enrique 'Quique' Rangel Arroyo (bass, vocals).
The band members met while studying graphic design in college, and originally named the band "Alicia Ya No Vive Aquí" (a tribute to Martin Scorsese's movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore). The band took its final name from a coffee shop (el Café de Tacuba) located in downtown Mexico City. The Café de Tacuba is still in operation on Tacuba street, in Mexico City's Historic Center.
Café Tacvba’s music has been heavily influenced by Mexico's indigenous population and folk music traditions, but also by punk and electronic music and other bands on the Mexico City scene.
The group has contributed to movie soundtracks like Amores Perros, Y Tu Mamá También, and Vivir Mata. They have also appeared in tribute albums to José José and Los Tigres del Norte. Café Tacuba also collaborated with different artists such as Plastilina Mosh, Kronos Quartet, David Byrne,Celso Piña ,Maldita Vecindad , Sekta Core,Enanitos Verdes , and Control Machete. They have played live with Beck, Incubus and Los Tres.
