[.ca] La Historia

This album is absolutely incredible....:
Caifanes is the best rock en Espanol band, period. Historia was my first taste of Caifanes and I'll tell you right now, you don't need to understand a word of Spanish to appreciate and notice this undeniable talent. "No dejes que" and "matenme por que me muero" are some of the standout songs on this collection, but every song has a distinct quality, beauty and charm to it. And even their early work from the late 80's/early 90's proves that their music was way ahead of its time. Overall an impressive, enjoyable piece of work. A masterpiece.

One of the best albums of all time:
Simply, one word to describe it: The best of the best!!!! Melodic, full of mystycism and great music accomplex. On every song Saul try to bring us a little part of his country. Great!!!

ONE OF BEST MEXICAN ROCK BANDS:
"Caifanes" was the most important band on the 90's in MEXICO. They were on the top on a new rock movement with "Fobia", "Soda Stereo", "La Cuca", "Maldita Vecidad" and "Cafe Tacuba", this box set contains the most representative sogs of the group, and some other live versions on MTV unplugged. Excelent for you collection. You will have in your hands many hits.

Los Chingones del Rock En Español:
Para mi los Caifanes (ahora Jaguares) son lo mejor que ha tenido el rock en español no solo de Mexico sino de todo America. Mucho mejores aun que Mana, Soda Stereo y demas. Dieron Vida a un Rock moribundo ya casi extinto y lo llevaron y siguen manteniendo en la cima. Con raizes de bandas como el tri y otras y su fusion de rock psicodelico con el misticismo prehispanico los hacen una banda de rock con raizes totalmente mexicanas. Esta compilacion es una buena invitacion a la gente que no tiene los albums de caifanes a enamorarse de esta banda, hacerla su favorita y a conocer porque son lo mejor de lo mejor del rock en español.

LO MEJOR DE LOS MEJORES:
CAIFANES: LA HISTORIA is an anthology of some of the best songs by Mexico's legendary band, Caifanes (now named Jaguares). Arising during a musical renaissance of Latin Rock in the 80s with bands such as Soda Stereo, Fobia, Maldita Vecindad, among other giants, Caifanes have proven to be among the most influential and talented to this day. LA HISTORIA includes the most significant compositions from each era in the band's history, such as "Matenme porque me muero" and "Viento," which are reminiscent of The Cure, along with the Cumbia mega-hit "La Negra Tomasa," a staple in Latin parties and album collections. Disc 2 contains the songs from their most artistically vibrant stage, once they fully incorporated their Mexican heritage and its pre-Columbian mysticism, seen in "Afuera" "Aqui no es Asi" and "Miedo", and "Piedra" among other wonders. Saul Hernandez' voice has changed according to the band's different musical incarnations and has demonstrated alteration from his many throat operations (he has suffered from complications to his voice box for the last ten years), yet fits perfectly with the band's evolving style. The drums and guitars are fascinating as they evoke an age long past, when man was more connected with the elements of nature and his spiritual being. LA HISTORIA belongs in every music lover's collection for its testament to the development of Latin Rock and innovative, beautiful music. A MUST-HAVE.
