Un Tributo, issued by RCA Records in the summer of 1998, assembles fifteen covers from the rock en español and Mexican rock canon. The compilation draws from a range of emblematic songs like “El Triste” and “Gavilán o Paloma,” revisited by various artists who bring their own inflections to these standards. Among the tracks, “Me Basta” stands out as a featured selection, emblematic of the album’s blend of reverence and reinterpretation.This record serves less as a straightforward anthology than as a conversation across time, with each cover reflecting the design and mood of its performer—some leaning into a more raucous, drunk energy, others opting for restrained homage. The release captures a moment in the late ’90s when Mexican rock was both consolidating its history and exploring new avenues within familiar material. Un Tributo remains a useful artifact for those tracing the lineage of these songs and their enduring resonance in Latin American rock.
