El aparato

In El aparato, Café Tacvba invites us on a groundbreaking sonic journey. The song stands out for its audacity in mixing rhythms ranging from the most rooted in traditional Mexican regional music, such as huapango or son jarocho, to influences from punk or grunge. This experimentation is key to understanding the proposal of Re, the album to which it belongs, where the band explored a range of genres without fear of fusing them.

The recording of this work took place in Cuernavaca, Morelos, and featured the production of Café Tacvba's own members along with Gustavo Santaolalla. For El aparato, and the rest of the album, they enlisted musicians such as Luis Conte and Alejandro Flores. An interesting detail is that for this album, Rubén Albarrán, the vocalist, is credited under the name "Cosme". This album, released in 1994, is a turning point in their career and was recorded with a duration of 3:19 for this track.
