VENTURA — Cafe Tacuba will perform on Thursday, April 11 at The Majestic Ventura Theater, 26 So. Chestnut St., Ventura.
Café Tacuba is credited far and wide as the preeminent band to have arisen from the rock en español movement of the early ‘90s, the theater reported in a media release. The Mexican four-piece isn’t well characterized by the rock en español tag, however, for the “rock music sung in Spanish” descriptor does little justice to the stylistic diversity and creative strides showcased by Café Tacuba over the course of its career. The band employs a standard rock lineup of guitar/bass/drums with vocals, certainly, but the members also incorporate electronics as well as exotic instrumentation into their music, which encompasses styles as divergent as punk and ballads, as well as regional Mexican and ambient electronica.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with the show beginning at 8 p.m. Tickets are $39.50 to $54.50. Visit http://www.venturatheater.net for more information.
