Mexico City, Mexico (1989 – present)
Café Tacvba (Often spelled Café Tacuba) is a musical group from Naucalpan, Mexico.
Their musical style covers a wide variety of genres, though it is most commonly labeled as Rock en Español. Their music has been heavily influenced by Mexico’s indigenous population and folk music traditions, most notable the Jarocho style of the state of Veracruz, but also by punk and electronic music and other bands in the Mexico City scene. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of their music is Albarrán’s nasal voice, which, combined with his impressive lung capacity (as demonstrated on “La Ingrata”, an homage to norteño music), makes for a very distinctive sound. They sing entirely in Spanish but have a significant Anglophone following regardless.
They have an especially eclectic sound, and it’s commonly said that none of their discs is of exactly the same genre. For example, “Maria” is a bolero style ballad, “La Ingrata” is a mix of rock and “norteño” , while “Eres”, a hit included in “Cuatro Caminos” album, is mostly pop-rock.
They were founded in 1989, and since then have had the same musical lineup:
* Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega aka “Pinche Juan” (“Fuckin Juan”), “Cosme”, “Anónimo” (Anonymous), “Nrü” (pronounced “dshyoo”, [dʃju] in IPA), “Amparo Tonto Medardo In Lak’ech” (or “At Medardo ILK”), “G3”, “Gallo Gasss”, “Élfego Buendía”, “Sizu Yantra” (which is his solo moniker as well), “Rita Cantalagua”, “Ixi Xoo” and many others. (vocals, guitar)

Despues de andar busque y busque info sobre el nombre en paginas oficiales, disquera y fans (Ya que no se deciden cual es), se supone que el nombre real es "Café Tacvba" y no Café Tacuba como yo pense ya que por derechos del nombre del "famoso" cafe tuvieron que cambiar el nombre................................................................................ "Su nombre fue tomado de un famoso café del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México llamado El Café de Tacuba, por estar ubicado en la calle del mismo nombre. Debido a problemas sobre derechos comerciales de coca-cola por el uso del nombre, utilizaron una grafía antigua de "Tacuba", sustituyendo la "u" con una "v", de allí la peculiaridad de la escritura del nombre del grupo."
