About this album
Where they were
By the time 'Molomix' was released in 1999, Molotov had solidified their presence in the Latin rock scene following their breakthrough debut album '¿Dónde Jugarán las Niñas?' in 1997. This remix album showcased their willingness to experiment with various genres while maintaining their politically charged lyrics and energetic sound.
Why it matters
'Molomix' is significant for its commercial success, reaching high positions on Latin music charts and reinforcing Molotov's role as a voice of dissent in Mexican rock. The album's remixes of tracks like 'Gimme tha Power' reflect the band's influence on both the punk and hip-hop scenes in Latin America during the late '90s.
