Un Tributo (Various artist do Jos Jos songs)

Un Tributo (a Jos Jos) (English A tribute to Jos Jos) is a 1998 tribute album to Mexican singer Jos Jos.[1]

Paying homage to Jos Jos for his influence on Latin pop music, the album was recorded by several popular Latin artists of different musical genres such as Molotov, Cafe Tacuba, Julieta Venegas, Moenia, Beto Cuevas, and Aleks Syntek.

The main hits of the album were: “Lo que no fue, no ser” by El Gran Silencio, “Una maana” by Cafe Tacuba, “Lo pasado, pasado” by Maldita Vecindad, “Gaviln o paloma” by La Lupita and “Volcn” by Moenia (the last two released video clip aired on MTV). Cafe Tacuba performed the song “Una maana” on their MTV Unplugged in 1995.

The album started a trend of Latin rock bands and hip hop artists recording old songs from music icons such as Juan Gabriel[2] and Sandro de Amrica,[3] as an homage. In 2013, another album was released titled Un Tributo (a Jos Jos) 2.
