"16 de Febrero" by Emmanuel del Real y Chetes

[beatlesfan]

This single is being played on radios now, it is a great song with a very "Beatle-ish" style in it, the video is very similar to "Get Back" by The Beatles because Emmanuel Del Real (Meme from Café Tacvba) and Chetes appear singing in the rooftop of a building but what ruins the video are the scenes of the movie it was written for (Fuera del Cielo).

Here's the song music video:

Comments on the song?

[tortuga]

So I guess every member of Cafe Tacuba has worked on a solo project? and I dodn't get the "V" in Cafe Tacuba. ???

Anyway, this a really good song.

So this track is on Chetes's special edition of BLANCO FACIL, right? And what's up with this movie. What's it about, whose in it? I haven't heard anything about it.

I don't recall any of them having solo projects. I know Meme does a lot of producing for other bands. He was one of the main producers on Natalia y La Forquetina's CASA album, but other than that I don't think any of them have done solo work.

What don't you get about the "v" in Tacvba?

Yes, Sizu Yantra! Rafael's band!

and the guy with the dreadlocks released a solo album.

and now this guy.

and I spell Tacvba with a "u", why do most people spell it with a "v"? ???

many people spell it with "v" because in their latest albums they've spelled it like that like remembering the old times where people didn't used the "u" like on the 1800's or so...

Ah and for "kinglouiexviii", this track isn't on the special edition for Blanco Fácil, it is available on the OST of FUERA DEL CIELO, it also has a new song of VAQUERO called "SILENT PASSENGER".

EDIT: I've found a live video of the song from the movie premier in theathers yesterday (January 9):

Mmmm...I guess I'm completely out of the loop on this. That's what happens when you don't live in Mexico. It takes like 2 years for cool rock en espanol music to cross the border.

Finally saw the video! The song is cool. I liked it, but I did not love it. I guess I was expecting something more...original from these two artists. The movie looks awful, though. Have you seen it yet?

Oh, FYI: my birthday is Feb. 16th! LOL!

This is growing on me. I still like Chetes's "poco a poco" better though. ;)
