Tres Marias at Music Museum

There are groups that rise to fame because they are composed of super talented members, and then there’s super group Tres Marias whose members are already venerated in their respective circles even before they came together.

Comprised by Lolita Carbon from the iconic folk-rock band Asin, celebrated Color It Red vocalist Cooky Chua and World Music goddess Bayang Barrios, Tres Marias was formed when the three kept bumping into each other at rallies which they attend and perform at separately. Recognizing their chemistry as a trio and being a fan of each other’s music, they started doing shows as one “just for kicks” until they decided to make the group official in 2012 without leaving behind their respective careers. The name was thought up for easy recall though it could also be a statement on femininity.

Each possessing distinct voice that has captivated music lovers for years now, Tres Marias brings to the table an amalgam of styles and musicality that make best even better. Some of their numbers whether on record or live gigs feature harmonies yet there are also solo numbers that showcase more of the artist’s pop side.

Aside from enjoying world-class talent, the audience of Tres Marias always enjoys the camaraderie they share onstage that is based on real friendship, freewheeling spirit, and humility in greatness. Indeed, egos are set aside when they are Tres Marias and all perform as unit with each element as important as the rest.
