The album is marked by wordplay, as titles like "Hoy Es - Oyes" (You're Listening), "Soy o Estoy" and "Hola Adiós" (which could be separated to "Hola a Dios" which means "Hello to God") make clear. Rubén Albarrán, whose vocal talents are well-demonstrated on "¿Qué Pasará?", was credited on this album as "Élfego Buendía". This was the first Café Tacuba album to use live drummers instead of drum machines.

Produced by Gustavo Santaolalla , Dave Fridmann ( Flaming Lips , Weezer ) and Andrew Weiss ( Ween ).

Cuatro Caminos was featured on several Top Albums of 2003 charts, including Rolling Stone , New York Times , Blender Magazine and won the 2004 Grammy Award for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album.
