Coming from Mexico City in the mid-’80s, Caifanes combined eclectic rock traditions (’60s British Invasion, postpunk, progressive rock) with a uniquely Spanish-language lyrical perspective. The Rock en tu idioma leaders’ first run (’86–’95) yielded four acclaimed studio albums, including El Silencio, produced by American guitar genius Adrian Belew (King Crimson, Talking Heads, David Bowie, Frank Zappa). After a 15-year hiatus, vocalist and guitarist Saúl Hernández reconvened the group; since then, Caifanes has focused on live performances and singles without album releases. Their latest single is 2023’s “Inés.”
