‘Martyrs of Rock n’ Roll’: Los K’comxtles Rekindles Mexico’s Rebel Spirit
Los K'comxtles, led by Rubén Albarrán of Café Tacvba, unites "martyrs of rock n' roll" with the present to revive Mexico's rebel spirit.
“It started with the idea of creating a rock n’ roll group, perhaps as an antidote to all the music we hear on the radio nowadays, which is basically the same and sounds identical — pasteurized, digitized, everything driven by an electronic click,” explains Albarrán. These and other songs can be heard live Sunday (March 16), when Los K’comxtles makes its debut at the Vive Latino festival, where the group will perform on the Carpa Intolerante stage. In their youth, these “martyrs of rock n’ roll,” as he calls them, endured criticism for the way they dressed, the type of songs they wrote and the rebellious spirit with which they chose to live, despite all obstacles.
