El Silencio (The Silence) is a studio album by Mexican rock band Caifanes, released in 1992.[1] It was produced by Adrian Belew.[2] It is the last Caifanes album to feature bassist Sabo Romo and keyboardist/saxophonist Diego Herrera.
Spin called the album a "heavenly hybrid of Roxy Music and Led Zeppelin."[3] Chuck Eddy wrote that it "flows through cotton-candy high notes, rumbling ocean rhythms with upsurges that bellow like sea elephants, Salvation Army funeral-wake honking, stuttery little chamber-group guitar figures."[4]
