El Diablito

Caifanes started as Mexico City's answer to The Cure, all hairspray and gloom. On this second album, from 1990, they began sounding like themselves. The cover borrows the little devil card from lotería, the Mexican bingo game, and the music makes the same move: La Célula que Explota sets mariachi-style trumpet inside a rock ballad, something Mexican bands simply did not do then. Gustavo Santaolalla, later a two-time Oscar winner, helped with the production.
