FIRST OF ALL...I HAVE TO CORRECT SOMETHING THAT WAS SAID!!! AND I'M PUTTING THIS IN
QUOTES, "CAFE TACVBA IS NOT AT ALL IN ANY WAY LIKE MANA, OR LIKE ANY OTHER BAND ON THIS
PLANET!!" CAFE TACVBA IS AN ORIGINAL, CREATIVE, DISTINCTIVE BAND CONSISTING OF THE
MUSICAL GENIUSES JOSELO, QUIQUE, MEME, & RUBEN (WHO'S GOING BY ELFEGO BUENDIA NOW)! CAFE
TACVBA'S SOUND IS COMPLETELY MADE UP OF WHAT THEY ARE FEELING AT THE TIME OF THE ALBUM &
ENCOMPASES WHAT DIRECTION THEY NEXT WANT TO CONQUER! AND CONQUER THEY HAVE!! FROM THEIR
FIRST RELEASE CAFE TACVBA IN 1992, TO RE IN 1994, TO AVALANCHE DE EXITOS IN 1996, TO THE
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THESE ARE ACTUAL MEN WHO EAT, BREATH, & SLEEP BECUZ THEY SEEM LIKE
SUPERNATURAL FORCES BROUGHT UPON THIS EARTH TO SHARE THE INTERNAL CREATIVITY THAT GOD HAS
BESTOWED UPON THEM" REVES/YO SOY IN 1999, THEN TO VALE CALLAMPA IN 2001, AND TO THE NEW
CUATRO CAMINOS IN 2003....THEY HAVE MANAGED TO KEEP IT REAL..THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.
THEY DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS OR WANTS, THEY JUST CREATE. SURE THEIR SONGS ARE IN
SPANISH, BUT WHO CARE'S...THAT'S THE BEAUTY! THEY DON'T HAVE TO CHANGE WHO THEY ARE TO
SELL RECORDS..THEY SELL RECORDS BECUZ THEY DO WHAT THEY DO AND GIVE IT EVERYTHING THEY
HAVE..THEY GIVE THEIR BEST AT ALL TIMES!THEY CAN'T EVEN BE CLASSIFIED IN ANY TYPE OF
GENRE...THEY AREN'T ROCK EN ESPANOL, THEY AREN'T SKA OR WHATEVER ELSE PEOPLE LABEL THEM
AS...YES THEY FUSE ALL OF THESE ELEMENTS AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN THEIR MUSIC...SOMETIMES
HIDDEN AS TO LEAVE LITTLE TREATS FOR THEIR HARDCORE FANS THAT THRIVE OFF OF THEIR
CREATIVE MINDS!...BUT IF YOU WANT TO LABEL & HAVE TO LABEL WHAT TYPE OF MUSIC OR BAND
THEY ARE...WELL IT IS SIMPLY "CAFE TACVBA"...PERIOD, END POINT, NO IF'S &'S OR BUT'S! AND
YES, I AM A TRUE FAN OF THE GUYS..THEY HAVE CHANGED MY LIFE INEXPLICABLY..THEY'VE TAUGHT
ME THAT THOSE THOUGHTS, SOUNDS, IDEAS, LYRICS, WORDS, PICTURES, RIFFS, VISUALS, OR
WHATEVER OTHER WEIRD, FREAKY, CRAZY, MENTAL, STRANGE, GENIUS, UNIQUE, OR HEARTFELT THING
I SEE, FEEL, OR SAY ARE SOMETHING..IT'S COMING OUT OF ME FOR A REASON, AND THAT REASON IS
TO PUT IT TOGETHER TO SHARE WITH THE WORLD MY OWN UNIQUE CREATIVETY THAT I CALL ANGEELAND.
AND I HAD THE CHANCE TO MEET MEME, RUBEN, JOSELO, & QUIQUE MORE THEN ONCE BELIVE IT OR
NOT. I WAS ABLE TO TELL THEM HOW THEY'VE INSPIRED ME AND MY OWN MUSICAL WONDERLAND. AND
MIGHT I ADD THAT THEY ARE THE MOST AWESOME, COOL, DOWN TO EARTH DUDES OUT THERE...AND NOT
TO MENTION VERY RESPECTABLE. AND THEIR CONCERTS (LAS VEGAS: HOUSE OF BLUES 9/5/03, SAN
DIEGO STREET SCENE 09/06/03, LATIN ROOTS & ROCK FESTIVAL @ THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL IN L.A.
09/07/03, AND SAN FRANCISCO'S THE FILMORE 09/09/03) ROCKED LIKE NO OTHER!! SINCE THEIR
UNION IN 1989, THEY'VE COME A LONG WAY & I WISH THEM THE VERY BEST! THEY DESERVE SO MUCH
MORE THAN THE RECOGNITION THEY GET NOW, BUT THEY DO WHAT THEY DO FOR THE TRUE
REASON...RELEASE OF INTERNAL CREATION..AND THAT IS THE ONLY KIND OF MUSIC I WANT TO
LISTEN TO..REAL MUSIC! AND CAFE TACVBA IS ONE THING FOR SURE...HONEST, TRUE, AND REAL!
