Descartes a Kant is a Mexican experimental rock band formed in Guadalajara in 2001
by Sandrushka Petrova. Known for their eclectic musical style, they blend punk, rock,
and electronic elements with theatrical live performances. The critically acclaimed
underground sextet equally incorporates punk, metal, pop, shoegaze, and cabaret into
their sound, making them an otherworldly and unpredictable live act. The Wall Street
Journal even noted, ‘trying to describe their music is to do it a disservice. It’s loud, racy,
incredibly imaginative, sophisticated, funny and wild; it’s as if the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
fronted Albert Ayler with Frank Zappa conducting.’ They are considered one of the
leading lights in the vibrant, ever-evolving Mexican experimental underground scene.
