“3” is much more than a cover album; interpreted by its lead vocalist Arian Viglietti, it is a cultural and sonic manifesto that uses universally recognized melodies to amplify contemporary messages about corruption, resilience, and homage. The band, with its masterful execution, has successfully bridged the gap between the aggressiveness of Rock & Roll and the Afro-Caribbean rhythmic cadence.
The album features stellar collaborations with giants of the genre, including Willito Otero, the legendary Choco Orta, the explosive vocalist Pipo Pica, and the cuatro virtuoso, Pedrito Guzmán, ensuring that every track is an unforgettable musical gem.
Each of the 11 album tracks uses the melodic foundation of a rock legend to create a unique, powerful, and danceable piece:
“Se Acabó El Café” (feat. Pipo Pica): A devastating rumba guaguancó that opens the album. Using the unmistakable melody of AC/DC’s “Highway to Hell”, this track is an explosive and unreserved critique of government corruption.
”Voy a Renacer”: The immortal hit Whitesnake’s “Here I Go Again” is converted into an inspiring son cubano that speaks of resilience and new beginnings, brilliantly enhanced by the masterful cuatro of Pedrito Guzmán.
“La Mejor” (feat. Willito Otero): The powerful ballad REO Speedwagon’s “Can’t Fight This Feeling” is transformed into a beautiful salsa track dedicated to mothers, featuring the vocal passion of Willito Otero.
“Se Baila Salsa Con Rock & Roll”: A universal call to party and fusion. The epic energy of Starship’s “We Built This City” lends itself to celebrating the perfect union of salsa and rock & roll on the dance floor.
“El Desmadre”: Builds cultural bridges by fusing Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” with the unparalleled flavor of Puerto Rican plena, featuring the sabrosura (flavor/zest) of Carlos García and Los Pleneros de Severo.
“El Dilema Que Me Tortura” (feat. Choco Orta): The iconic Choco Orta turns the sensual classic Heart’s “All I Want To Do Is Make Love To You” into a deep and exquisite romantic salsa anthem about the agony of indecision in love.
“El Rey de la Mar”: A demolishing salsa track inspired by the speed and drama of Iron Maiden’s “Flight of Icarus”, narrating an epic naval battle with metallic arrangements.
“Se Fue La Luz”: Starting from the radio hit 38 Special’s “Caught Up In You”, the band reiterates its social critique, focusing on the infrastructure and corruption issues that affect daily life.
“No Jodas Más, Mujer”: A humorous, cadence-filled, and danceable salsa. The anthem of freedom Steppenwolf’s “Born to be Wild” is transformed into a satire of machismo in religions, ideal for the dancer.
“Llegó Santa Claus”: Captures the unmistakable spirit of Boricua Christmases using the energy of the glam rock anthem Quiet Riot’s “Cum On Feel The Noize”, highlighting Guzmán’s cuatro once again.
“Entre Cielo e Infierno” (Versión 2025): The epic album closer. With the majestic structure of the legendary Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the band raises awareness about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in the military.
