TRYO

The French group TRYO is known fos its activism and conviviality. Everybody knows this group and its accoustic reggae influences, and it has manged to attract fans with strong themes like world peverty, politics, ecology and of course love. Indeed TRYO doesn't just sing but is actively involved in Green Peace.
How did this group start, you ma ask ? Well, it began in 1995 with three young men around a camp fire. Festival after festival, Guizmo, Manu and Mali gradually built up a following. Then Danielito and his percussions skill joined them and this led to their first album called "Mamagulida" in 1988. Two years later, "Faut qu'ils s'activent" adopted more political style and they followed it up with their third album "Grain de sable" released in 2003. More mature and more militant than the two previous albums it didn't hesitate to stress a more political message. On the 1st of September 2008, their long-awaited fourth album was released. Recorded in an isolated farmhouse, this album is less poetic, more direct but the lyrics are still full of meaning.
