Zoé Members, Gear & Sound

Zoé is a distinguished Mexican rock band celebrated for their blend of psychedelic rock and Latin alternative sounds. Formed in Mexico City in 1994, the group came into its own with a stable lineup featuring León Larregui (vocals, songwriting), Sergio Acosta (lead guitar), Jesús Báez (keyboards), Angel Mosqueda (bass), and Beto Cabrera (drums). Known for their infectious melodies and dynamic performances, Zoé has been a pivotal force in the Rock en Español movement, with an impressive catalog that has earned them numerous awards, including a Grammy and multiple Latin Grammys.

Zoé's sonic landscape is characterized by a rich, immersive psychedelic texture complemented by melodic hooks and lively rhythms. The band achieves a kaleidoscopic sound palette through the use of lush guitar tones and layered effects. Sergio Acosta often employs the Vox AC30 Guitar Combo Amp to deliver warm, tube-driven sounds, while his choice of guitars, such as the Gibson ES-345, adds a classic, resonant quality to the music. The incorporation of effects like the Electro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff Reissue enhances their music's psychedelic flair, providing fuzz-laden textures that anchor their expansive sound. The result is a blend of dreamy atmospheres and vibrant energy that defines Zoé's unique musical identity.
