El Tri is a Mexican rock band that has become a defining symbol of Latin American rock music. Originally formed in 1968 under the name "Three Souls in My Mind," the group was led by frontman and guitarist Alex Lora. El Tri's music is characterized by raw, powerful rock sounds blended with blues and influenced by the socio-political context of Mexico, making their songs resonate with the struggles and aspirations of the common people. Their lyrics often highlight the plight of the urban poor and convey a rebellious spirit against social injustice, a theme that has established them as a voice for the Mexican counterculture.

Over the years, El Tri has undergone various line-up changes but has maintained its core essence, with Lora's distinctive voice and earnest songwriting capturing the hearts of generations. The band officially adopted the name El Tri in 1984, a nod to the number three's significance in their original name and Mexican culture. Their discography is extensive, with numerous studio albums, live recordings, compilations, and singles. Some of their recent releases, such as "Pensando En Ti," "Triste Canción de Amor," and "Que Chingón," continue to showcase their unyielding energy and passion for rock music that speaks directly to the streets and the soul of Mexico's youth. Their unwavering commitment to their music and their fans has solidified El Tri's legacy as rock 'n' roll icons in the Spanish-speaking world.
