Tracing Cafe Tacvba and their music career
Cafe Tacvba began as a collaboration between Rubén Albarrán and Joselo Rangel after they met while studying at the Metropolitan Autonomous University in the graphic design department.
Soon after the other two members of the band, Emmanuel del Real and Enrique Rangel joined. The band's albums are almost always produced by Argentine composer Gustavo Santanolla.
The band derives its name from the influential el Café de Tacuba, a cafe in downtown Mexico City that became a cultural gathering spot for members of the Pacchuco counter-culture movement. Pacchuco has been acknowledged by the band to be one of the influences on their musical style.
The band started gaining international prominence with their fifth studio album, Cuatro Caminos, which was released on July 1, 2003. The album won the Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album award at the 2004 Grammy Awards. Music from the album has also been featured in the Electronic Arts published sports simulation game FIFA Football 2004.
Cafe Tacvba had their latest major success with their eighth studio album, Jei Beibi, which was released on May 5, 2017. The album peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Latin Pop Albums album chart. The album also peaked at number 48 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums album chart.
