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)
* Emmanuel "Meme" del Real Díaz: (keyboards, acoustic guitar, piano, programming, vocals, melodion)
* José Alfredo "Joselo" Rangel Arroyo: (electric guitar, acoustic guitar, vocals)
* Enrique 'Quique' Rangel Arroyo: (bass guitar, electric upright bass, vocals)
Mexican folk music player Alejandro Flores is considered the 5th tacubo, as he has played the violin in almost every Café Tacuba concert since 1994. Since the Cuatro Caminos World Tour, Luis "El Children" Ledezma has played the drums in every concert but is not considered an official member of the band.
**Previously known as "Alicia Ya No Vive Aquí" (a tribute to Martin Scorsese's 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 cafe, which opened in 1912 and had its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s, was representative of the Pachuco scene at the time, something the band would later acknowledge as an influence. The Café de Tacuba is still in operation as a coffee shop and restaurant on Tacuba Street, in Mexico City's Historic Center. The band changed its name to Café Tacvba (changing the u for a v) in order to avoid legal issues with the coffee shop.

Disolviéndonos
Café Tacvba Lyrics
Se desvanece todo
Todo el tiempo
Se disuelve y se pierde
Como un sueño
Que absurdo pensar
Que no sucederá, con lo nuestro
Ilusorio pensaba
Sobrevivirá al campo, al campo
Todo gira y da vueltas
En suspenso
Se recrea aparente a
A cada momento
Puedes intentar odiar
Nuestra ansiedad, el misterio
Puedes intentar tapar con un dedo el sol
Y la existencia, y la existencia
Estamos disolviéndonos
Estamos disolviéndonos
Estamos disolviéndonos
Todo el tiempo
Se disuelve y se pierde
Como un sueño
Que absurdo pensar
Que no sucederá, con lo nuestro
Ilusorio pensaba
Sobrevivirá al campo, al campo
En suspenso
Se recrea aparente a
A cada momento
Puedes intentar odiar
Nuestra ansiedad, el misterio
Puedes intentar tapar con un dedo el sol
Y la existencia, y la existencia
Estamos disolviéndonos
Estamos disolviéndonos
Estamos disolviéndonos

Yo sí les aplaudo todo lo que hacen.
¿Por qué? Porque hagan lo que hagan, me guste o no me guste, nunca son los que espero. Y eso está bien.
Esta canción, aunque no se volvió una favorita instantánea, es una de las que puedo escuchar sin problemas de principio a fin.
Y sobre los rumores de su separación, ellos mismos lo dijeron: Si no regreso, no pasa nada, tarde o temprano alguien me viene a suplantar.
Armin Díaz Gaudiano
El video se acopla bien al tema, ese sonido progresivo con la psicodelia visual. Los acusan de comerciales y cuando hacen algo más artístico y abstracto no agarran la onda, con nada están contentos.

buen comentario, si es verdad ayer pedían algo hoy lo contrario. Nadie se conforma, solo escuchemos buena música
Jose Gonzalez
Este álbum me recuerda mucho a revés/yo soy. Ya tenía rato que no escuchaba algo tan bueno.

Ahora, yo aprendo el español en una escuela americana. Lo siento por errores. Me encanto el Café Tacvba. Este video es divertido mirar. Pero, me gusta más el Futuro. Es una canción muy buena.
