Editor's note

El Gran Silencio, Monterrey's restless rock and ska band

A band from Monterrey that mixed rock, ska, and Mexican sounds into something new.

For their range, try 'No sabemos amar' or 'Dormir SoñAndo'. They never settled into one sound.

They started in 1993 playing local bars, and their debut 'Diferentes Tipos De Silencio' arrived in 1996. Songs like 'No sabemos amar' show how they blended rock with reggae and cumbia, and their lyrics sometimes touched on social issues in Mexico. They built a reputation for energetic live shows across Latin America.

Formed in Monterrey in 1993, they played festivals and bars early on. Later albums like 'Libres y Locos' added reggae and dub, but they kept their connection to the city's roots.
