Cafe Tacuba - 2008 Tour Dates (Terminal 5 on Halloween)

Cafe Tacuba @ Summerstage 2007 (Cristina G)

Café Tacuba has earned its reputation as Mexico’s most visionary rock band precisely because there has never been much that’s traditionally rock about it. Its previous homages have skewed less toward the Who and more toward the Mexican ranchera legend Chavela Vargas and the Dominican merengue-pop star Juan Luis Guerra. For the past two decades it has treated rock as a genre worth sustaining only if it could be exploded, repeatedly. “Café Tacuba are the most important touchstone for young bands looking to make original contributions to Latin rock,” said Nic Harcourt, musical director at the Los Angeles radio station KCRW, who has regularly featured the band on the station’s influential playlists. “They constantly challenge themselves and constantly challenge their fan base. Not unlike Radiohead, they just keep evolving in unpredictable ways.” [International Herald Tribune]
