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 ↴
No sé si sirven muy bien
Para poder hacer lo que quiero hacer
No te entendí bien
Tenías o no
La biblia también nos sirve
La fuerza o la razón
Escalofríos después
Viejo y paralizado de la cabeza a los pies
Cesante otra vez
Aburrimiento sin fin
Prefiero morir en la carcel que seguir vivo aquí
Los recuerdos harán que te olvide
Los recuerdos harán que te olvide
Los recuerdos harán que te olvide
Que no se te olvide acordarte que me tienes que olvidar
En el mismo andén
Estoy contando hasta diez
Y sin pensar demasiado piquero a la línea del tren
No caí muy bien
El tren se descarriló
Cansado, molido & consciente, no lo quiero creer
Los recuerdos harán que te olvide
Los recuerdos harán que te olvide
Los recuerdos harán que te olvide
Que no se te olvide acordarte que me tienes que olvidar
In "Hojas de té," Los Tres, a Chilean rock band, reflects on the struggles of life and the uncertainties that emerge. As the lyrics indicate, the singer is unsure if tea leaves will help him accomplish what he wants to do. The singer did not understand the other person well, and he seeks to make sense of what was said. He claims that the Bible can help anyone find strength and reason. "Azúcar café" and "escalofríos después" - sugar and coffee and shivers after drinking them - convey the sense of anxiety that the singer experiences. The singer is old and paralyzed from head to toe, and he is unemployed again, frustrated and bored. He would rather die in prison than live in his present situation. The singer attempts to forget his partner but ultimately realizes that it is the memories that will allow him to do so.
Through the use of humor and biting social critique, Los Tres leverages their music to voice the concerns of Chilean youth. The dark and melancholic beat reflect the disappointment, disillusionment and boredom felt by the youth with the corrupt government and economic system, leading to a sense of aimlessness and frustration. "Hojas de té" is a powerful representation of this disenchantment.
