<p>The unique Mexican rock band Cafe Tacuba is not a household name in America, but on the evidence of the screams, cheers, and epic sing-alongs on the live double-disc UN VIAJE, the group holds superstar status in its native country, and rightly so. More fun than a carnival, Cafe Tacuba mixes traditional Mexican folk, ska, R&B, cabaret, punk, electronica, and everything in-between into a sonic blast as appealing as it is original. On paper, it doesn't seem as if this grab bag would hold up, but the band's experimental rock is amazingly cohesive and compelling.
<p>In addition to the group's superior and eclectic musicianship (it is sometimes difficult to believe there are just four guys making all of this music), Cafe Tacuba crafts great songs, full of ingeniously catchy passages and infectious melodic hooks. UN VIAJE sprawls at 29 tracks, giving listeners plenty of the band's catalogue under one cover. Cafe Tacuba plays with great energy and precision, shifting with pinpoint accuracy from dreamy, expansive post-rock to nervous New Wave to furiously churning rock, all conveyed with a passion that matches the adulation of the crowd.

- UGH! Gave it one star just because you have to!
Bought the CD because it contained a song I heard on Pandora, WORST LIVE recording I have ever heard!!! (I overlooked that part when I was ordering - my fault) And I've heard lots of Cafe Tacuba's stuff that I've liked. Pass on this one!! Yuck, yuck, yuck.
