avalancha de xitos

Avalancha de xitos (Avalanche of Hits) was Caf Tacuba's third album. In 1996, two years after their acclaimed Re, the band had ammassed enough new music to fill four CDs, but couldn't winnow it down to a single album. So instead, they covered eight songs by other Spanish-speaking artists, who ranged from totally obscure to well-known.

Track listing

"Chilanga Banda" (Mexico City Band - "Chilanga" is a slang term. Originally by Juan Jaime Lpez.)
"Metamorfosis" (Metamorphosis. Originally by Axis.)
"No Controles" (You Don't Control. Originally by Flan.)
"No Me Comprendes" (You Don't Understand Me. Originally by Bola de Nieve.)
"Alrmala de Tos" (Warn Her of Tuberculosis? Originally by Botellita de Jerez.)
"Perfidia" (Perfidy. Instrumental. Originally by Alberto Domnguez.)
"Ojal Que Llueva Caf" (If Only It Rained Coffee. Originally by Juan Luis Guerra.)
"Como Te Extrao Mi Amor" (How I Miss You My Love. Originally by Leo Dan.)

All the covers are very different from the originals - and from each other. "Chilanga Banda" is a hip-hop piece in Mexican slang (featuring the sound "ch"), and "Ojal Que Llueva Caf" is marked by fast-paced fiddle and rapid switching from chest voice to head voice - reminiscent, in fact, of yodeling. This is a continuation of the precedent the band established with Re, their previous album, of constant genre-shifting.
