Hecho en México LP

El Tri has been fronted by Alex Lora since day one, growing out of the 1968 band Three Souls in My Mind into what Lonely Planet calls "the grandfathers of Mexican rock," a title that ages fast. When that earlier group split in 1985, Lora just kept the El Tri name running, riding the momentum of 1985's Simplemente, the record that made them the first Mexican rock act to go Gold. Hecho en México followed in 1986, continuing a run built on blunt, political songwriting and open shots at the ruling PRI party.
