Re is the second studio album by the Alternative rock band Café Tacvba, released on July 22, 1994 by Warner Music Group. It was recorded in Los Angeles, California and Cuernavaca, Morelos under the production of Gustavo Santaolalla. This is considered their best studio material and by some critics, as the best Spanish-language album in history. For this album, Café Tacvba collaborated with other artists such as Luis Conte and Alejandro Flores. Rubén Albarrán, the group's vocalist, is credited on this album as "Cosme."

In it, the band experiments with various musical genres, from regional Mexican music, such as trio, huapango, norteño and banda, to others as diverse as punk, funk, grunge, mambo, Brazilian samba and Jamaican ska. The album was widely acclaimed by critics (elevated to the category of masterpiece) and has even been compared by various North American media with the White Album by The Beatles due to its musical genius, variety, quality and quantity of songs. With this, they achieved international acclaim and sold almost half a million copies of this material. Rolling Stone Magazine named it the best Latin American album in the history of rock.
