Simplemente

The album Simplemente, released in 1984, marked the beginning of a new era for the band that was previously known as Three Souls in My Mind, now under the name of El Tri. This name change reflects the connection fans established with the term "Tri," which sounds like "tres" (three) in Spanish. With a sound that blends rock with lyrics addressing social reality, the album stands out for its raw and authentic energy.

About the album

Simplemente, according to DoReSol

Among the most notable songs is "Triste Cancion," which has become an anthem of Latin rock and is undoubtedly the band's most recognized piece. Other tracks like "Metro Balderas" and "Vicioso" also achieved great impact as singles, resonating with audiences and solidifying the style of El Tri. In "San Juanico," Alex Lora pays tribute to the industrial tragedy that occurred in 1984 in San Juanico, Mexico, where a series of gas tank explosions left a mark on the collective memory. This song is a clear example of the band's commitment to social reality, a distinctive feature in their music.

With a total duration of 33 minutes and 50 seconds, Simplemente was released under the WEA International label. This album not only represents El Tri's studio debut but also establishes the foundations of their legacy in Spanish-language rock music, with lyrics that reflect everyday life and social struggles.
