Editor's note

Banda Alaska, Mexico City's restless provocateurs

A band that formed in 1979 and kept writing songs other groups avoided.

For their early, pointed side, try 'Ópio'. Their later, more textured work comes through on something like 'Entre o Óbvio e o Nunca Visto'.

They came up in Mexico City alongside punk and new wave, but their own sound was always its own thing. You can hear their direct, sometimes troublesome approach in a track like 'Ópio'. Later records like 'Los Zombies Atacan' brought in jazz and electronic touches, showing they never settled.

They started in 1979 with an early lineup that included Enrique Guzmán and María Eugenia León. By the late '80s, their sound had shifted and the membership changed, with albums like 'El Año Perdido' arriving in 1992. They also worked with artists like Café Tacvba along the way.
