For a young aspiring rock band that formed in 1989 in Mexico City, the possibilities to record an album seemed impossible. “We thought we would only get gigs at clubs or bars,” he said.

But their opportunity came when a wave of alternative Latin rock bands also formed around that time.

“We, along with other rock groups of the nineties, had the opportunity to tour. That’s when we realized that we have to take care of our band and manage it in the best way.”

Quique admitted that throughout the years, the group faced many problems, crisis and even possible separation, but there has always been something that has kept them together.

Cafe Tacuba – composed of Rubén Albarrán, Emmanuel del Real, Enrique Rangel and Joselo Rangel – is simply everything they strived to be since the beginning: four people contributing ideas in one project.

As one of the pioneers of Latin rock, the quartet is celebrating their 25th anniversary with a US fall tour. But that’s not the only thing they’re thrilled about, 2014 also marks the 20th anniversary since the release of their most famous album to date, “Re.”

And that’s why their much-awaited gig around the states is called “20 RE – CT 25.”
