Tryo (Chile)

With their namesake debut album, the talented Chilean power trio Tryo caught the attention of lots of prog fans around the world, an attention that still enduring after 8 years and 3 more albums. They are well known for balancing their rock side with a more acoustic chamber-oriented facet, though their debut album is clearly designed as a prog rock/jazzy album - mostly instrumental, only track 4 has lyrics. The major influences are Red/and/early 80s-era King Crimson (mostly), common place psychedelia, the rougher side of Mahavishnu Orchestra, plus some touches of Led Zeppelin and jazz-fusion. The whole repertoire is a progressive display of musical fire, handled with exquisite skills, fuelled by density, and arranged with astonishing dexterity.

Tryo is named by a lot of people like the perfect trio, this progressive and acoustic chilean rock band is formed by : Felix Carbone, on drums and percussion, Ismael Cortez on guitars and Francisco Cortez on violoncello and bass guitar. Their wonderful fusion takes us to a wonderful tour by acoustic wonderful melodies and at times to a very proggresive rocker songs, the style is absolutely their, so they do not have a lot of similars bands.
"Patrimonio", that drives us trough a wonderful and absolutely acoustics melodies that mades us take a walk on the air, and explores our inside with an absolutely rocker time songs, that remind us why is called progressive rock. And his last album called "Viajes", that show us the best of tryo and what they know to do best, the acoustic melodies that like us so match and, that takes us again on this 48 minutes "Journey" where TRYO take again and with us a walk on air.
I would say highly recommended ... and if you ask me, listen the "Patrimonio"´s first two tracks, that if you are curious to know about the melodical magic of these band ... but if you are looking for a little bit more of rock i recommend you the "Patrimonio"´s track ten ... and if you want to listen a little bit of jazz fusion influences. You are looking for "Patrimonio"´s seventh track.
