Rock and roll music in its meteoric rise in popularity has always been enhanced by the narrative surrounding it—the stories of ordinary people teaching themselves the skills to bare their musical souls to the universe. El Tri has been baring theirs since 1968, and played a crucial role in helping shape the sound of rock music in Mexico. Though Rock en Espanol was once regarded with skepticism in America, the doubters have been all but silenced now by the band’s monumental 45 albums and 53 year career. The pioneering shredders bring their 2021 release Pa` Que Te Enamores to San Jose Civic this Wednesday for a face melting affair.
