Eo; Café Tacvba

Café Tacvba, a Mexican alternative band, stole its name from a restaurant as stated by Wikipedia: “previously known as ‘Alicia Ya No Vive Aquí’ (a tribute to Martin Scorsese’s Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore), the band took its final name from a coffee shop (el Café de Tacuba) located in downtown Mexico City. The cafe, which opened in 1912 and had its heyday in the 1940s and 1950s, was representative of the Pachuco scene at the time, something the band would later acknowledge as an influence. The Café de Tacuba is still in operation as a coffee shop and restaurant on Tacuba Street, in Mexico City’s Historic Center. The band changed its name to Café Tacvba (changing the u for a v) in order to avoid legal issues with the coffee shop.”

Hey, if someone want to visit the restaurant, its website is here.

“Café Tacvba” is formed by “Rubén Isaac Albarrán Ortega (vocals, guitar), Emmanuel ‘Meme’ del Real Díaz (keyboards, guitar, piano, programming, vocals, melodica), José Alfredo ‘Joselo’ Rangel Arroyo (guitar, vocals), and Enrique ‘Quique’ Rangel Arroyo (bass guitar, electric upright bass, vocals). Mexican folk music player Alejandro Flores is considered the 5th tacuba, as he has played the violin in almost every Café Tacuba concert since 1994.”

The song “Eo” is in the 2003 album called “Quatro Caminos”. It “appears in the soundtrack to soccer game FIFA Football 2004”. And that’s it!

Que es lo que pasa.
Pasa,
Digo que si pasa.

Pasara paso
Hey tu chamaco,
Chamaquro traes chamaca
Para este agarron
Los de la musica, musica
Empieza a sonar
Con la intencion de poner a bailar
Y la gente se arrejunta
Y junta los cuerpos
Pa´ subir el calor

Se escucha escuchando
Los acordes
De la proxima cancion
Es que es el turno
Del sonido sonidero
Pura sensacion

La pista se retuerde
Y tuerce la chamaca
Con su chamacon
Con el ritmo local
Y no queda ni un espacio
Nada queda
Cuando suena esta canción
Cuando suena esta canción

Que es lo que pasa.
Pasa,
Digo que si pasa
Pasara paso

Hey tu chamaco,
Chamaquro traes chamaca
Para este agarron
Los de la musica, musica
Empieza a sonar
Con la intencion de poner a bailar

Y la gente se arrejunta
Y junta los cuerpos
Pa´ subir el calor
Se escucha escuchando
Los acordes
De la proxima cancion
Es que es el turno
Del sonido sonidero
Pura sensación
