When discussing the bedrock of Latin American rock, few names carry as much weight as Caifanes. Emerging from Mexico City’s vibrant underground scene in the late 1980s, Caifanes (originally named after the classic film El ángel exterminador by Luis Buñuel) didn’t just play music—they forged a cultural identity. They blended post-punk darkness, British new wave, and traditional Mexican folkloric instruments into a sound that was both gothic and profoundly native.
