Café Tacuba took their name from a famous bar in the poorer portions of Mexico City called (suprise!) Café Tacuba.
On
October 29th 2002, Café Tacuba released the
EP "
Vale Callampa", where they pay tribute to the Chilean bolero
trio "
Los Tres".
Los Tres is one of the most respected
trios in the history of
Latin music, and thus, Café Tacuba handles the songs with audible respect, but still manage to create a quality album.
For this project, their lead singer named himself Rita Cantalagua.
The 4 songs in this EP are Dejate Caer, Olor a Gas, Amor Violento, and Tírate.
(Perhaps there is a theme?)
