Los Tres Tour

Los Tres Tour

Our Spanish is a bit rusty. We know "Los" means "the" but we have no idea what the English translation is for "Tres." It's probably a very obscure word or maybe a technical term of some sort.

Oh well, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that you know that the "Los Tres Tour" features three of Mexico's most famous musical artists, Alejandro Fernandez, Joan Sebastian, and Marco Antonio Solis.

During the "Los Tres Tour" each performer will take the stage for a solo set and then all three will perform together.

That's a welcomed concept for a tour like this. It turns three co-headlining acts into a cohesive show instead of some cheap marketing trick used by a promoter trying to squeeze every penny out of renting the arena for the day.

Maybe "tres" means "tour." Wait, then it would be "The Tour Tour." No, that's not it.

The U.S. Tour, which favors fans on the West Coast, begins April 10 in Anaheim.

They trio stays in California for three more shows, San Diego (April 11), San Jose (April 17), and Sacramento (April 18), before heading east.

The tour makes its lone stop in the Midwest April 24 at the Allstate Arena in Chicago. Then it's off to the south for visits to Miami (May 14) and Atlanta (May 16).

The Los Tres Tour concludes with a Texas-two step. The penultimate concert of the Los Tres Tour takes place in Houston on May 28 with the final stop in Dallas on May 30.

Also look for the Los Tres Tour to visit Duluth, Minnesota.

I got it now! "Tres" means "trays" although "The Tray Tour" makes no sense. Nevermind.

Fernandez is hot right now as he tops both the Mexican pop and ranchera charts. Widely regarded as one of the most successful Mexican singers of all-time, Fernandez has sold more than 18 million albums.

Besides having a great career of his own, Sebastian has produced and written hundreds of songs for other artists including tracks for his tour mate, Fernandez. Sebastian has won three Grammys and five Latin Grammys.

Solis is one of the most influential singer-songwriters to ever come out of Mexico. As a member of the insanely successful Los Bukis, and as a solo artist, Solis has recorded over 20 albums and composed over 300 songs.

Maybe "tres" means peregrination? No the Spanish word for "peregrination" is "peregrinación." How could I ever forget that?

I guess we must resign ourselves to the fact that the "Los Tres Tour" has no English equivalent.
