The story behind
Las flores, according to DoReSol
When one delves into Las flores, they encounter a piece that, while part of a highly celebrated album, possesses its own brilliance. The lyrics, born from the pen of Emmanuel del Real, known as Meme, present an image that invites reflection. What's interesting is that this piece doesn't just rest on its melody; it was part of a collection of works that the band Café Tacvba released in 1994, and which the record label Warner Music Group put into circulation.The recording of this track, like the rest of the album Re, took place in Cuernavaca, in the state of Morelos. The production was handled by the band members themselves along with Gustavo Santaolalla, which gives it a distinctive mark.
For this particular album, Café Tacvba was not alone, but had the collaboration of musicians such as Luis Conte and Alejandro Flores. Even the vocalist Rubén Albarrán adopted the name Cosme for the credits of this work. The duration of Las flores is 2 minutes and 16 seconds, a span that condenses a sonic proposal exploring a variety of styles.
