Coors Light Rock Prendido '05 Tour Brings Popular Rock En Espanol Bands to San Diego

Cafe Tacvba, Kinky and Ely Guerra Perform in San Diego on Monday, July 4 at 7:30 p.m.

SAN DIEGO, June 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Coors Light presents the Rock Prendido '05 tour in San Diego on July 4, 2005 featuring acclaimed rock en espanol bands Cafe Tacvba, Kinky and Ely Guerra. The San Diego performance is part of a 19-city U.S. tour taking the artists to several cities including New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and Denver.

"Sponsoring the Rock Prendido tour is exciting for Coors," said Paul Mendieta, director of multicultural marketing for Coors Brewing Company. "Rock en espanol bands are increasingly popular among Latinos living in the U.S. and we're proud to bring this caliber of talent to the markets in which our consumers live."

With its sizzling mix of ska, rock, hip-hop, and traditional Latin music, Cafe Tacvba is one of Mexico's hottest bands and has been named "One of the 50 Future Latin American Leaders" by Time magazine. Cafe Tacvba has enjoyed great success since 1992, releasing eight albums and sharing exciting music with audiences throughout Central, South, and North America.

The group's accomplishments include winning an MTV music award in 2005, receiving the Grammy for "Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album" in 2003 and a Latin Grammy in 1999 for "Best Rock Album." Most recently, Cafe Tacvba released a new album called "Un Viaje" in 3 editions, a double live CD, a DVD and a Fat Box that includes a 3 CD set and the DVD. The album was recorded live on October 6 and 7, 2004 in the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. The band's four members are Sizu Yantra (lead vocals and guitar), Emmanuel Del Real (keyboards, programming, vocals and guitar), Enrique Rangel (bass and vocals) and Joselo Rangel (guitars and vocals).

Since Kinky's beginning in 2000, the five-piece Latino dance, funk band has emerged from relative obscurity in the desert city of Monterrey, Mexico, to phenomenal worldwide success highlighted by three albums, movie soundtracks, and a 2003 Grammy award nomination for "Best Alternative Rock Band." Their releases include "Oye como Va" (2004), "Atlas" (2003), and "Kinky" (2000).

Ely Guerra started her music career in 2000 with an album called simply "Ely Guerra." She was quickly noticed for her uncanny voice and following the promotion of her first CD, she appeared in numerous Mexican magazines, including Somos, in which she was named one of the 50 most beautiful women in Mexico. She has since released three albums including "Lotofire" (2001), "Pa' Morirse de Amor" (2002) and "Sweet, Sour, Hot & Spicy" (2004).
