Rubén Albarrán is widely known as the iconic frontman of Café Tacvba, a groundbreaking figure in Latin rock who has spent decades blending traditional Mexican sounds with modern rock, electronic, and experimental influences. As Billboard put it, his voice is “a multifaceted wonder, whether unleashing a crystalline coo that can pierce your heart, or an ominous growl that can turn severe and bitter.”

As Pinche Pinchadiscos, Rubén transplants that same genre-bending, irreverent spirit to the dance floor. What began as a personal experiment to engage in a more intimate relationship with fans now takes him around the world, celebrating rhythm and dissent. His sets are an upbeat, careening ride—shifting from mambo and cumbia to 2 Tone ska, electro, and international beats—with the same stage showmanship and cultural pride that characterize his live shows.
