After 16 years since their breakup, legendary and iconic Mexican band Caifanes announced a reunion. Something definitely unpredictable and long awaited. Though, Caifanes have already played in front of thousands at Vive Latino and Coachella earlier this year, they now set for the official tour!
Frontman Saul Hernandez declares, “The last two concerts were the reaffirmation of a story and it made us feel that deep down we knew that it was not lost. Surprised and excited, we want to share this with you once again.”
Caifanes emerged in the mid ’80s and influenced the Mexican rock scene and other bands like Mexico City-based Maldita Vecindad, Santa Sabina, La Castañeda, La Cuca, La Lupita, Fobia, Botellita de Jerez among others. During the band’s trajectory, Caifanes launched four studio albums such as El Negro (1988), El Diablito (1990), El Silencio (1992) and El Nervio del Volcán (1994) which provoked a musical movement and Mexican identity for generations to follow.
The band’s songs were influenced by post punk groups such as The Cure, and reflected a particular spiritual and almost occult element that resonated with Mexico’s street and underground culture. Caifanes broke up in 1995 and Saul Hernandez took on his second major music project as Jaguares. Years later, he went solo. I’m glad Hernandez and the über-talented guitarist Marcovich finally made their amends!
