Los Tres

Information

Los Tres is a Chilean folk-rock band known for its unbreakable sense of humour and eclectic musical style. Formed in the late 1980s by vocalist and guitarist Álvaro Henríquez, bassist Roberto Lindl, and drummer Pancho Molina, the group later welcomed guitarist Ángel Parra Orrego after moving from Concepción to Santiago. This lineup became the foundation of their success.

Their self-titled debut album, Los Tres, was released in 1991, marking the beginning of a long relationship with Sony Music. Their second album, Se Remata el Siglo (1993), achieved platinum status, showcasing their ability to blend diverse musical influences. The band gained further acclaim with La Espada y la Pared (1993), which included the hit song "Déjate Caer"—nominated by MTV Latino for Best Video of the Year.

In 1996, Los Tres recorded an MTV Unplugged session, which was released as an album and marked a pivotal point in their career. That same year, they began touring across the Americas. Over the following years, they released several influential albums, including Yerb Fonda (1996), Fome (1997), and Peineta (1998), the latter featuring Chilean folklore icons Roberto Parra and Eduardo Parra.

In 1999, their final album La Sangre en el Cuerpo was released, shortly before the band announced their breakup.
