Music reviews of La Historia
Music Review: Discover the greatest Mexican rock band ever...
Rating: 5 Stars
And also in the Top 5 of spanish rock of all times. This is a perfect compilation and it shows how it should be done, arranged chronologically and covering thoroughly all the albums the band ever released. Caifanes formed in the mid 80's in Mexico City and as you can hear on disc 1, had a very strong influence from the post-punk & goth movement from Britain (mainly The Cure). Caifanes was signed by BMG-Ariola on the wake of the rock in spanish explosion in Latin America and released their first album in 1988, the first four songs from disc 1 are drawn from that album. At first caifanes seemed like rest of the rock groups coming out at that time, they all had new wave influences, but a year later they released their breaktrough single "La Negra Tomasa" an afro-cuban standard song and gave it a cumbia beat with complicated guitar textures. This song was huge and became a standard at parties and weddings, the single was backed by the B-side "Perdi mi Ojo de Venado" also included here. Caifanes seemed to be destined to be a one-hit wonder, but in early 1990 they released the first single of their second album "El Diablito", the song was "La Celula que Explota" and blew everybody away. Caifanes showed that they were developing a style of their own, merging rock music with Mexican folklore and pre-hispanic mitholgy, the music still showed some influences from the Cure but they weren't so evident anymore. In 1992 Caifanes recorded their masterpiece "El Silencio", by this point they had completely develop their signature sound, standing out the work of Guitarist Alejandro Marcovich and the production of Adrian Belew, the first half of disc 2 includes the songs from this album. After touring extensively during 1992-93, founding members Sabo Romo and Diego Herrera left the group. Recording as a trio, Caifanes released their fourth and last album in late 1994. "El Nervio del Volcan" showed the maturity of the band and a tendency towards hard rock, though it lacked the urgency and emotiveness of the first three albums. In 1995 tensions between leader and vocalist Saul Hernandez and Alejandro Marcovich broke up the band. In 1996 Hernandez brought drummer Alfonso Andre and "La Barranca" members Jose Manuel Aguilera and Federico Fong and recorded the first album from "Jaguares", the continuation of Caifanes basically. "El Equilibrio" was a great debut album but the quality of subsequent albums by Jaguares started to decrease.
This compilation is a perfect introduction to this great band and if you love them I suggest you to start with "El Diablito" from 1990 and "El Silencio" from 1992.
