Los Tres, one of Chile's most important contributions to music, is back! "Hagalo Usted Mismo" (Do It Yourself) is the title of the trio's latest studio album. "Hagalo Usted Mismo" combines melodic rock with classic sounds. "Camino", the first single, has an upbeat, vintage rockabilly feel; the single broke radio records for initial airplay on its Chilean release and has been going strong on radio stations throughout Mexico.
The album, produced by Joe Blaney (The Clash, Prince, Charly Garcia) was recorded earlier this year in New York City and features guests like drummer Steve Jordan (Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin) and Café Tacuba's Emmanuel del Real, who in addition to contributing as an invited musician also produced and mixed several of the songs. The collaboration with Café Tacuba was a natural step after the success of Tacuba's four-song EP of Los Tres covers "Vale Callampa," which brought Los Tres back into the spotlight and introduced the trio to an international audience. Del Real recently accompanied Los Tres before a crowd of 30,000 fans in Santiago, Chile and also at their performance at the Latin American equivalent of Coachella, Vive Latino in Mexico City.
Los Tres, originally formed in Concepcion in the late 80's, is Alvaro Henriquez (vocals, guitar, piano), Angel Parra (lead guitar) and Roberto "Titae" Lindl (bass).
