This is Café Tacvba ... the finest rock band of Mexico by far. They are planning finish their 2011 with a documentary called Caminos (Roads).

Caminos, Cafe Tacuba (Part 1)

Toreros Muertos

Well, the idea is more or less the same misskprimary via FlickrThis antique band is probably the most epic band of the 80's in Spain since all of them are notable trolls, this song is a sample:
Mi agüita amarilla (My lil' yellow water) is the water cycle explain it very thoroughly where the starting point it's a drunktard taking a leak, just figure it out guys...
So you guys probably asked themselves why we posted this song while we promise a full week enterely devoted to Día de Muertos or Halloween (the same thing), well, we do it because they're los toreros muertos, the dead bullfighters...
(...)
Ok, we will post more about día de muertos or Halloween tomorrow, then, enjoy the music of these geniuses.

This song depics this simple scenario: what happen when a Jehova witness faces a satanic boy. If you think that the Jehova witness would have a hard time you're wrong because he ask for blackup to his brothers.
Some others guy of Happy-Fi apper on video, including Chetes.
Lyrics traslated:
One friend of mine said that he was satanic
Jehova witnesses came to his home one sunday
He told them "Go away, I'm satanic".
The next sunday arrived 50 witnesses
to watch the satanic boy
to watch the satanic boy...
and also to know the satanic boy

Nalguita, by Plastilina Mosh

Cover of Plastilina MoshDuring the mid-90's, at Monterrey, Mexico, two nerds, Rosso and Jonás, make the decision to create a band. Their style was unclasificable since they didn't sound like anyone else on these happier times. Today, their style was replicated by others bands like F.A.S.E, Belanova, Sussie 4 and Kinky -yep, Kinky, that band that appear on a chapter of CSI Miami and whose singer colabore with infected Mushroom's Becoming insane.
Today, they're still at business and they are a bigger band by the way. This song, Nalguita (Lil' bum) is awesome and its video cannot be describe it with words.
Rejoice.

We swear this day we gonna post a great song for all of you, our audience, since this project works because of you pals.
We'll give you a hint about the song that gonna be posted here. It's from the duo that created the style that later was cashed by bands like Sussie 4, Belanova, F.A.S.E and Kinky, but they're more related to Beck.
Do you know them? ;)

Bon y los enemigos del silencio part III

If you're smart kids, you noted that in the last video Bon y los enemigos del silencio already had a drummer, in this video they show how their drummer join to the band.
This song is named Tira todo (Dump everything), and on it appear two radiostar froms Mexico: René Franco (The psicotic bald on the video) and Sergio Zurita (The grannie).
The next post of this video gonna love it, or at least this I hope so.

Bon y los enemigos del silencio part II

Another one, this is just a colaboration for Aleks Syntek (a mexican popstar more related to electronic music). Hasta el fin del mundo (Till the end of the world) it's darn catchy and I suspect strongly that all of you will love this video for some few reasons ;)
Enjoy it then.

Bon y los enemigos del silencio

Yep, "Bon & The Silence's Enemies" this is a such particular mexican band from the darkest 80's, just watch them, everything on them shout it.
Also note this: They don't have a drumer in the band, the beat was programed in a the beatbox as you can check in this video, Voy a buscar, (I gonna search). The lyrics are epics.
Voy a buscar la paz interior en tu interior (I gonna search my inner peace in your inside)
te voy a partir en dos (I gonna tear you apart in two)
Y te voy a preguntar a dónde vives y cuántos años tienes  (and I gonna ask you where do you live and what's your age)
y por qué eres así conmigo (and why you're such like this with me)
Voy a buscar el hilo negro en tus medias (I gonna search the black thread in your stockings)
y el hilo blanco en tus guantes (and the white thread in your gloves)
Voy a pedirte tres deseos (I gonna ask you for three wishes)
a ver si me los cumples (to watch if you're able to fulfill them)
voy a gritar tu nombre (I gonna shout your name)
¡Hasta que muera! (till I die!)

P.D: The gurl is not a gurl...

Amores perros

One of my favorite songs of all times is this one, Lucha de gigantes (Gigants' struggle) by one Spanish band named Nacha Pop, my generation cry every time that they heard it...
This tune was used for the soundtrack of one of the best movies on Earth...

Cuca

First we offer apologies because our lack of activity last days, to recover the wasted time we post about this awesome band: Cuca.

Cuca was a band from Guadalajara, Mexico, that rocks in the 90's , If you mix together hard rock with some slices of gothic and a lot of humor and a very mexican sense of the music you got them. Cuca disbanded when José Fors, their frontman, quit to became a painter and manage his own side project (Forseps), but now that he fail at this purpose they reunited for some few presentations and discs, any of them relevant at all so far.

This was their first hit: Señorita cara de pizza, lols ensued.

BENGALA

We're happy that our project is gaining this amount of attention. We will focuses more on people from the 2000 and not only at great bands, we will write about things that sucks hard right now on the hispanic rock scene.
So our next band: Bengala. Bengala was a brand new band, they began in 2003 at Mexico City because they felt that young people like them needed new music, different of ye olde rock en español, music that talk about their particular problems.
Bengala began in a very common fashion: parties, bar clubs and pizza stores; however, a radio station named Reactor spoted them and they became popular in a very short period of time, in fact they opened concerts of guys like The Killers, Franz Ferdinand, Molotov (check the last post) and Fobia (some day we gonna talk about them, because they were awesome)
Bengala is some of the few bands that really give something good to the audience.

Bengala - Carretera (Highway) (Sesiones Telehit)

MOLOTOV

What can we say about Molotov?  Tito Fuentes (guitar & voice)), Miky Huidobro (bass),  Paco Ayala (bass, yeah two bass, like it?) , and Randy Ebright (drums) know each others at school, but not any given school, they attended to The American School of Mexico City, where your first languaje it's the english, yeah, so jealous about it because I won't suffer a lot to write this entries in english, if I attended in such a school, but anyway...

In fact, Randy is american.

Their funny lyrics talk about any kind of issue on earth. Migration, Politics, living in a country like Mexico... in a lampoonic style.
So check this brothers and sister.

Molotov - Yofo (???)

Do you know him?

That's right, He's Juanes, in a very strange time, where even Shakira tried to rock in Colombia. He created a band named Ekhymosis (???).

This song is named Ciudad Pacífico, Enjoy it. 

Irreverent

Bersuit Vergarabat is a band created at the lates 80's and came out from the underground circuit of Buenos Aires during the 90's. Appearing at festivals at neighboring countries. The band became popular among the youngsters of that time because of their compositions, that combined a rebellious and disobedient actitude and Latin rhythms like cumbia, vallenato and hip-hop with rock from the slums and  some metals. Anything could happen in their crazy-ass concerts. 
 

 Sr. Cobranza (Mr. Collection) - Bersuit @España 1999

Psicodelic riffs? In my rock en español?

Yep, bros, it's more likely than yo think. Since Mexico had a very cute and nice version of Woodstock named "Avándaro" (Valle de Bravo, wey), a lot of bands emerged from this festival, like Three souls in my mind, Love and Peace,Trolebús and (of course) Love Army, whose frontman was named Pájaro Alberto, he came from the happiest place on Earth (Tijuana) and certanly the guy was too advanced with respect to his time, just check it fellas.

Pájaro Alberto, Viaje fantástico (Fantastic trip).

 

Radio Kaos, Ritual

OK, today onlly gonna play some good tunes, These fellas don't last too Radio Kaos, they had only 2 hits and this is one: Ritual, we hope you enjoy it. >:3

The bitching rumor of the day: Gustavo Cerati has passed away

Wow, Zemanta works fast. Image via WikipediaTwitter give us something to rejoice today, according to a report of a Costa Rica's newspaper (Srsly), Gustavo Cerati, frontman of Soda, allegedly passed away today. So, to celebrate this fucking scam, we ganna post this Soda Estéreo classic named De música ligera (Of light music). Enjoy it.

Comedy and rock… La Orquesta Mondragón!

Notice: every time that the official seal of approval of Pedobears appers here, is because the rock band or the rockstar get in troubles with Teh Man for lolitas' issues. Enjoy this post. 

La Orquesta Mondragón, AKA the singer Javier Gurruchaga and his fella in crime and also comedian Popotxo Ayestaran get together at Spain in 1976 to create this band. Their style is very scenic and their songs are plenty of humor.

Now-a-days they continue, but they had a break after some problems, we mean that Javier Gurruchaga has his ass in jail for some loli's affairs, but seems that El Siete Pilas (the spanish version of Bubba) didn't take his ass... or we don't know.

After all, Gurruchaga returns to the rock scene and they're not tired...

Enjoy this track: Caperucita Feroz (Big bad red riding hood, we told yah guise) :P

Green, supergreen

Charly García delivering lulz while he supports Chile Wikipedia (c)

In one of his best songs, Charly García assumed that he, when he was a child, "never was so smart" and also "played the piano like an animal".

That was a utterly lie. In fact he was the typical überkid able to found an off-key string of a guitar just hearing it. As a young man he became a rockstar and today he is a legend. No, srly.

He's not Bob Dylan because he's more musician than poet, this don't means that his songs lack of poetry, the point is that his music has a lot of humor. You surely note it seeing  his mustache, one half is blonde and the another one is chesnut. One half of his being is awesome, the another one goes nuts. 

One of my favorite songs is this one, Estoy verde y no me dejan salir  (I'm green and they don't let me go out, supergreen anyone?). When a boy isn't  mature enough to go out and have fun at Latin America he's green, like the green firewood that cannot burn well. This is the metaphor that Charly García alludes with this song.

His bands were Sui Generis in 1974; Porsuigieco, La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros, and his solo career began in1982. Estoy verde... is then his first hit.

I hope you like it. This is a classic.

No dejes que...

Caifanes was an original product of Mexico City, circa the 80's, but they're reach the top at the middles 90's.
This project, an avant-garde band similar to The Cure, found its way to an audience at 1987 after being underground heroes doing a cover from a cumbia hit named "La negra Tomasa", cool.
But they were actually a pretty good band, maybe the best band in Mexico at the earlies 90's. This is a sample of their greatness.
The worst part of this story is how they broke up: very badly. Just like Guns and Roses did it. Yep, bad like this. With this I saying that even with a little number of reunion shows and a new band spawned form Caifanes named Jaguares never was the same thing.
This track is "No dejes que" (Not let that...") and fit perfectly with this band and its issues.

CAIFANES- NO DEJES QUE
