In 1982, three guys from Concepción, Álvaro Henríquez, Roberto Titae Lindl, and Pancho Molina started a band called Los Dick Stones, whose set list was based on songs by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, and Gene Vincent. They quickly became very popular in universities, bars, and peñas around the southern city of Concepción. Given their ambition to achieve success in the Chilean mainstream, they decided to move to the capital city of Santiago and changed their name to Los Tres. In 1988 Ángel Parra joined the band and even though Los Tres is Spanish for "the three", they decided to keep the name.
During years when culture and art began to rise again -after the cultural and night life had been reduced for almost 20 years due to the military regime that had ruled Chile since 1973-, the times were right for their music to develop and their popularity to grow. They recorded 9 albums during their first stage together, from 1982 until 2000.
In 2000 the band went into an indefinite break and its members continued their musical careers in personal projects.
On 2006 Los Tres, with the exception of Pancho Molina, announced their reunion including a show in May, the festival Vive Latino in Mexico City, and a show in Santiago de Chile. The first single Camino was already released. Their tenth album (Hágalo usted mismo) was a result of this reunion. The band is still together.

Los Tres Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Págame en estrellas por favor
Bolsa de mareo
Sentado en pié
Que es eso que miras
Y no se ve
La de un niño enfermo por volar
Volar en mil pedazos
Y ser feliz
Todo lo que miras
Se vuelve gris
Bolsa de mareo
Sentado en pié
Que es eso que miras
Y no se ve
Te dí, te doy todo
No vuelvas a pedir más
Que es eso que miras
Que te encandila como un salar
Quisiera entender la gravedad
La de un niño enfermo por volar
Volar en mil pedazos y ser feliz
Todo lo que miras se vuelve gris
Bolsa de mareo, sentado en pié
Que es eso que miras y no se ve
Te dí, te doy todo
No vuelvas a pedir más
Que es eso que miras
Que te encandila como un salar
Bolsa de mareo
The lyrics of Los Tres's song "Bolsa de Mareo" convey a feeling of being lost, confused, and searching for understanding. The first lines "Contrátame una gira por el sol, Págame en estrellas por favor" express a longing for something beyond the mundane and ordinary, something out of reach but desired. The lines "Quisiera entender la gravedad, La de un niño enfermo por volar" touch on a deeper theme of the human desire for freedom, but also the fear and danger that comes with it. The imagery of a sick child wanting to fly symbolizes the feeling of being trapped in a situation and wanting to escape it.
The repeated lines "Bolsa de Mareo, Sentado en pie, Que es eso que miras y no se ve" create a sense of confusion and unease, as if one is lost at sea and cannot see land. The mention of a "Bolsa de Mareo" or airsickness bag adds to this sense of discomfort and nausea. The last lines "Te dí, te doy todo, No vuelvas a pedir más, Que es eso que miras que te encandila como un salar" address a feeling of exhaustion and giving everything to someone, but that person still wanting more. The comparison to a "salar," a salt flat that reflects light, creates a feeling of being blinded or misled by something that appears beautiful and desirable but is ultimately an illusion.
