Revés/Yo Soy (English: Backwards/I Am) is the fourth album by the Mexican rock band Café Tacuba, released in 1999.[1] [2] In fact, it is two albums—Revés is an instrumental album, Yo Soy a collection of songs the band had been saving up since their second album, Re.
It was nominated for a Grammy Award, in the "Best Latin Rock/Alternative Performance" category.[3] It won the Latin Grammy Award for "Best Rock Album".[4]
The New York Times wrote: "Many of the Spanish lyrics are about isolation and disorientation: as most great bands do three or four albums into a career, Cafe Tacuba has made a record about entering one's 30s and wondering what the next step is."[4]
In a retrospective article, the Chicago Tribune called the album a "masterpiece," writing that it "matched offbeat Eno-meets-Esquivel instrumentals with slightly more conventional rock songs."[5]
