El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco

El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco

On 2012’s reflective El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco, their seventh full-length album, Café Tacvba seamlessly combine indigenous folklore with Latin alt-rock. Like a vibrant carnival in rural Latin America, the invigorating “Olita del Altamar” sees Cafeta tinkering with elated Andean pan flutes that merge well with surf-pop riffage. Chicano rock shines through on rockabilly ballad “Aprovéchate” à la Ritchie Valens, and the psych-tinged “Zopilotes” lets loose some whirling, shoegaze-y guitar feedback. On the flip side, the band displays childlike candor on the effervescent lullaby “Espuma.”
