Cuatro Caminos (literally: Four Roads, the name of a major road intersection and metro station in Mexico City and Madrid) is the fifth album by Café Tacuba, released in 2003.
All tracks by Café Tacuba
The album is marked by wordplay, as in the song titles "Hoy Es" (sounds like "Oyes" - You're Listening), "Soy o Estoy", and "Hola Adiós" (sounds like "Hola a Dios", meaning "Hello to God"). Lead singer Rubén Albarrán was credited on this album as "Élfego Buendía". This was the first Café Tacuba album to use live drums instead of drum machines.
Produced by Gustavo Santaolalla, Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Weezer) and Andrew Weiss (Ween).
Cuatro Caminos was featured on several Top Albums of 2003 charts, including Rolling Stone, New York Times, Blender Magazine. It won in 2004 a Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album and two Latin Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Album and Best Rock Song for Eres.
