The story behind
The song *Pez* by Café Tacvba, with its 2:19 duration, emerges from a period of great sonic exploration for the band. On Re, their second studio album released in 1994, they ventured into fusing an incredibly wide palette of styles. Imagine moving from rhythms rooted in Mexican regional music, such as trio, huapango, bolero, son jarocho, and norteña music, to territories as distinct as punk, funk, or grunge. This audacity in composition is part of what makes tracks like *Pez* resonate with a particular energy, inviting the discovery of layers of influences with each listen.
The recording of Re took place in Cuernavaca, Morelos, an environment that undoubtedly contributed a special atmosphere to the process. The band, alongside Gustavo Santaolalla, took the reins of production, seeking a sound that reflected this experimentation. For this project, Café Tacvba was not alone; they had the collaboration of musicians such as Luis Conte and Alejandro Flores, who enriched the album's textures. Even the vocalist, Rubén Albarrán, adopted the name "Cosme" for his credits on this record, adding a touch of mystery and playfulness to the group's identity at that time.
