El Tri true legends (not just in their own minds, either!)

“Mexico City’s El Tri and its leader, Alex Lora, are the epitome of living legends. Lora is himself, a virtual encyclopedia of rock en Español history. His musical career began in the late sixties, with his first group, Three Souls in My Mind, played rock and roll and sang all of its songs in English. However, by the time the group was to record its third album, Lora decided to start singing in Spanish.

Lora, who recently spoke to La Prensa San Diego from Mexico, explained the reason for the change.

“[The decision to sing in Spanish] stemmed from the necessity to truly communicate with my audience,” Lora said recently from his home in Mexico City. I wanted people to understand me, to sing with me time and time again,” he added.”
