Album Notes & Community Reviews

A sprawling, 20-track opus, 'Re' is celebrated for its radical fusion of alternative rock, punk, and ska with a vast spectrum of traditional Latin styles like norte帽o, bolero, and huapango. Guided by producer Gustavo Santaolalla, the band's eclectic songwriting and use of unconventional instrumentation created an experimental yet cohesive work that is considered a definitive landmark of the Rock en Espa帽ol movement.
