Café Tacvba is one of the most important rock bands in Spanish 7 studio albums, 1 EP, 1 compilation and 3 live albums make up the discography that Café Tacvba has managed to perform in 30 years of successful career. His songs and music in general talk about how to be proud to be Mexican, of our culture, talk about love, heartbreak and socio-political issues, some of his greatest successes have been covers of great songs.
Top 7 of his best songs:
7.- # cardinal points
At number 7 we have a premiere in 2004 song is named # puntoscardinales , shows the band in a subaltern reality with visual effects, lyrically the song speaks of nihilism on an individual basis by naming the four cardinal points: love and Sweetness, strength and courage, the video is visually creative and ahead of an era where Mexico still deported with artists who were still trapped in the 90's, they marked the era with innovation and is one of their best songs.
8.- #ingrata
In the top 6 we have a somewhat controversial song, #ingrata released in 1994, although at the time it was a jewel that you could freely dedicate to some female, it reached the top of the music charts in Mexico, currently the band He has refused to sing live given the wave of crimes and murders to the female sector since Mexico occupies the 1st place of feminicides at the Latin American level. The lyrics speak of a woman who abandons her beloved for an alleged love betrayal, begging the forgiveness of her man who rejects her by calling her ungrateful. The video is so vintage because at that time it was shot with a low budget, but currently it is one of his most iconic videos, shown the Mexican of that time and Rubén's voice is the best.
5 .- # want to see
In the top 5 we have "I want to see" a song released in 2007, I had the opportunity to listen to this song on the radio while I was going to high school, and without a doubt this is the proof of why Café Tacvba is the most Mexican band representative of Mexico, the lyrics and video show a growth not only aesthetically and artistically, the vocal level so impeccable, but the lyrics are so deep and special, a song of pure love that combined with the beauty and emotions of the video achieve A perfect mix. The theme of the Video is very unlikely, they are very Creative and this read that magical touch of fantasy that makes it very interesting, it seems a dream with inconsistencies, very well You just have to watch the video to understand and you will not need to speak Spanish to understand .
4 .- # Let yourself fall
Drop yourself is a metaphorical rock ballad focused on resurgence and forgiveness. The video was released in 2002, at that time it was very innovative and futuristic because of the simple fact that in the city of Mexico the regional music lived a major boom, talks about death and suicide, from a perspective of those who see it on the outside, the melancholy and pain of losing someone, is the dark part, the version of Coffeeta is more on the side of the one who finally releases the soul from his own pain, while for one part the death is melancholic , For others it is a liberation and a celebration. different ways of seeing the same situation from both emotional poles, deep melancholy and indescribable happiness.
3.- #You are
Launched in 2005 # Eres is the most important romantic ballad of coffee tacvba , which took off to international fame, being heard in several parts of Latin America and Europe, a quite subtle and emotional song , the video is realistic showing high school youth real in real situations, giving that characteristic of tacvba coffee, you are the perfect apology to the platonic love that we all have at age 15, a song that gives you the power to conquer and fall in love without doubt one of the greatest works of coffee tacvba .
2.- # Comoteextraño
finalizing this count we find How I miss a remake versioned by the band that despite not being original of them, I connect with the Mexican and Latin public, nowadays it is considered as a hymn of sadness especially used for thousands of people missing in Mexico because of crime, the ballad accompanied by the chords of the guitar give a unique sound to the voice of Rubén the vocalist, the video shows the band next to the sea, showing the daily life of Mexico in those years. It shows an atmosphere of joy and optimism, a simplicity so authentic and real of Mexico.
1.- # Maria
The first place takes # Maria the most personal and Mexican song that coffee tacvba I think so far, the video shows the best of Mexican culture showing the Mexican roots with every gesture of the band in the video, It seems to me a allusion to a soul in sorrow (La Llorona?) that walks the streets giving the love she herself in life denied to those who loved her. The video was filmed in the streets of the Historic Center of Mexico City around 1995 with Ofelia Medina, considered one of the best actresses of her generation along with Diana Bracho. Thanks Tacvubos for always showing the best of our country with his music :)
well here comes my top with the best of tacvba coffee I hope to read them soon and success and fortune from Mexico.
