I have been listening to Cafe Tacuba for many years now. I have all of their cds. I do not speak spanish, but their music transends true talent. "Un Viaje" is a fantastic live recording. Packed with great songs from the past and songs from their most recent album "Cuatro Caminos", this cd smokes. Unfortuatly, I have not seen Cafe Tacuba live, but after hearing this cd and watching the dvd, I am wishing they will come my way soon to see them. Cafe Tacuba is increadible, sick, off the the chain or which ever phrase you wish to apply. If you like rock music....really like rock music, buy this cd. You will not be disapointed. If you don't speak spanish, it doesn't matter. You'll be jumpin' to the melodies just the same.

Leave it to cafe-ta to give its fans such a great deal on not only a wonderful cd, but also on an even greater dvd. This is a must have for all the cafe-ta fanatics... like myself. the dvd it great but i wish that it wasnt so edited. it seemed like they took a couple of concerts and edited them together... and sometimes not so discretely. towards the end of the dvd there are some scenes that cuts from them wearing one thing, to another and back again... all in the same song!... but other than that I LOVE IT... ive probably seen it about 50 times and ive had it for about 2 months! once again.. this is a must have for all CAFE-TA fanatics!!!!

Por lo general lo que oigo es rock pesado, muy pesado. Pero Cafe Tacuba siempre me ha gustado. Cuando leí en la prensa el lanzamiento de su cd en vivo, no dude en irlo a buscar. Y la verdad, vale cada centavo que pagué por él. Claro, como habrán leido en las anteriores opiniones, es una verdadera ganga (tres cds y un dvd por solo 14.99). Y si le añadimos que lo escucharán una y otra vez y otra vez y otra vez, pues... que mas puedo decir. Como dije, cinco estrellas no bastan para describir este grandioso trabajo.

Este disco & Dvd estan increible. El sonido es muy bueno y las canciones son buenisimas. Tocan canciones desde el primero hasta el ultimo. Mis felicitaciones a los tacubos que en vivo tocan increible.

Bien por Café Tacvba!!! Realmente este concierto aparte de ser un recorrido por su música es un viaje que demuestra por que son el mejor grupo de rock en español de la historia. El sonido es excelente y los visuales tienen una edición y unas transiciones muy bien estructuradas e interesantes. Definitivamente creativo. He tenido la oportunidad de verlos en varias ocasiones y en realidad el DVD/CD te transmite esa energía de sus conciertos. Además te permite conocer un poco más sobre el grupo con las entrevistas de cada integrante y hasta tiene un recorrido narrado por el estudio de grabación El Ensayo. Muy buena calidad y sobretodo buena vibra. Un sólo detalle es que dejaron afuera la canción El Ciclón que a mi parecer no debió ser excluida.
Se los recomiendo a todos los que quieran recrear y revivir la experiencia Tacvba día tras día en la comodidad de su hogar!!! -jky.

Is this one of the five best bands on the planet? After a half hour watch on Austin City Limits and three dozen listenings of Un Viaje, I cannot help but come to that conclusion.

These guys can do it all, from Nirvanaish drone (Cery Y Uno) to 311 stomp (No Controles), from Eno instrumentalism (La 6 and Reves) to the best Chi Chi's music you've ever heard in your life (La Ingrata). And then they do a little Dire Straits (La Locomotora) and then a little Eydie Gorme (Eres) and then a little Beck-style rap (Chilanga Banda)...and bit by bit, song by song, one becomes more and more amazed by the depth, the breadth, the humor, and the originality of the music.

Lyrics? Can't tell a word of 'em. Doesn't matter.

This band is probably THE great gem in the rough I've ever discovered in my fifty years of music listening. Do not, I repeat DO NOT, pass them up. The cuisine at this Cafe is incredible, and the menu goes for pages and pages. Oh, and it's cheap too. A CD and a DVD for under 20 dollars. A better deal you will not find anywhere.

Bottom line: I freakin' LOVE Cafe Tacuba. I think you will, too.

I was a bit skeptical when I placed the order for cafe tacuba's un viaje. I had read previous reviews that mentioned the quality being a big let down and the sound as well. I listened to the cd before watching the DVD, and did not find a reason for the sound complaints. I actually found it to be pretty clear to the point of feeling part of the concerts in which the recordings took place.

I sat to watch the DVD and realized that the critics of the image quality must have only seen the beginning of the concert which was done in black and white with a grain effect to accent the songs that were being performed. I thought this was pretty unique, as well as other methods of filming that were employed for the concert.

The band gives a great performance as always and is translated into the 3 CD's and DVD that complies un viaje. I think this is a great buy for the price is being sold for.

This is the first Cafe Tacuba's live release and it exceeds expectations. The group is amazing performing live, indeed this concert has great video edition and excellent sound. I would not get tired of say that this is the best latin american group. They mix all kind of rhythms and genres in order to create exceptional music. I recomend fully this box set for everyone, even the people have not listened them yet.

Ya llego el Cafe Tacvba para que todos le metan el taconazo como se debe.

If you are reading this review, you probably are already aware of the genius that is Café Tacvba. While I would have liked a new studio CD (yes, I know that they just released the last one less than 2 years ago) I was elated to find out that the Tacvbos would be releasing a live concert CD. I've seen them numerous times and so I was hopeful that the energy that one actually experiences at their concerts would be conveyed though this glorious package. And so, the CD arrived yesterday and I immediately started to listen to the CDs and to experience the magic that was the 15 year celebration of Café Tacvba's viaje (journey). When I've seen them live, it's always been in small venues here in the US, and because of that - I've grown accustomed to the more intimate concerts, but the energy that comes though these recordings is phenomenal and it really made me wish that I had been there too (even if there was no way I'd be as close to the band as I have been in the past).
Enough with the jibber jabber. The sound quality is amazing and the performances are spectacular - they suck you right in. While Amazon doesn't list the tracks you can rest assured that the band plays a good amount of tracks from each one of their studio releases. I won't list them all here because I don't want to spoil the fun, but it's a great mix of old and new. If you think Café Tacvba is a great band but have never seen (or heard) them live - get ready...it will blow your socks off. These guys have interminable energy.
So, if that hasn't convinced you...how about this. The price listed on Amazon is $14.99. I've paid more for single CDs! But in this package, you get not one CD, not two CDs, not three CDs, but three CDs and a full length concert DVD! Four Discs for the price of one. And the DVD is just as good as the CD...well maybe not so much...but it definitely is great. The video quality was a little off and at points it is hard to hear because of excess background noise, but honestly, once you get into it - you don't even notice. Plus, the DVD has really neat extras like a tour of the band's studio `El Ensayo'. After timelessly listening to the gems that have come out of that place, it was nice to finally see what it looks like.

So in the end - get it. It's really a steal and its worth every penny.

Representando lo que es en realidad México, y como me enorgullezco de ser mexicano, sin nada que envidiar a las grandes bandas del mundo, hablando de Cafe Tacvba, el disco esta muy bien, la imagen del DVD no me gusta mucho, ni los movimientos o transiciones de la camara.

El empaque del CD-DVD me decepciono, por que esta muy chafa para ser una Edicion Especial, lastima que lo compre aqui, cuando lo vi en la tienda Mix Up, o sea en México, tiene otra presentacion, y se me hace mas chido.

Aun asi, comprenlo, esta muy chingonsisisisisimo,.!!!!
