The return of Café Tacuba, Mexico's artsy roots rockersnew
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the self-titled debut of Café Tacuba, the band that turned the world of Latin alternative music upside down with an unusual early format of a drum machine, acoustic guitar, stand-up bass, and a high-pitched charro-sounding singer wearing guarache sandals and a straw hat.
