Introduction
During the nineties, massive commercial entertainment (and only bits of culture and art) rose immensely in Chile; prior to that most "left-wing" or anti-military cultural expressions were repressed for almost 20 years (see Chile under Pinochet). In this context appeared Los Tres whose work is based, in contrast to most rock/pop groups from this era, on the folk and popular music of Chile with added rock and jazz influences. The band's attitude was to reject commercial pop/rock and easy trends. Furthermore, their music and mostly their lyrics, though not following the style, can be considered as "grunge" in spirit. Given this, it was against all odds for them to succeed.

“For better or worse, stepparenting is self-conscious parenting. You’re damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
—Anonymous Parent. Making It as a Stepparent, by Claire Berman, introduction (1980, repr. 1986)
