Rock group Caifanes from Mexico are pioneers of the revival of Spanish-language rock (Rock en Español) in Mexico in the mid to late 1980s. Their musical approach clashed with the then dominating ballads and happy pop tunes that filled the radio and TV programs, in offering dark and moody lyrics.

Caifanes is the debut album by Caifanes, a Rock en español band from Mexico in 1988 after the success of their first singles Matenme porque me muero and La bestia humana. The original release of the album did not contain the songs La negra Tomasa and Perdí mi ojo de venado, which were released in 1989 as singles were later incorporated into the album when it was re-released in Compact disc format in 1990.
