Request A ShowT3R Elemento teamed up with Farruko for the corrido sierreño track “Del Barrio a la Ciudad,” which was made possible through DEL Records. The band has also been associated with DEL Records as former artists.
T3R Elemento formed in 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with Kristopher Nava (then 14 years old) on vocals, Felipe Prieto on requinto, Sergio Cardenas on electric guitar and tuba, and Zeus Gamez on accordion. The group was inspired by figures in the alternative corrido movement, such as Gerardo Ortiz and Regulo Caro. Initially, they performed covers of narco and traditional corridos from the Culiacán, Sinaloa tradition at parties and high school events. Their early performances and original material were shared through live videos on YouTube and digital singles on various streaming platforms. These online activities led to the group being signed by Parra Music. Their debut release with the label in 2016 was a live album titled “Rafael Caro Quintero (En Vivo).”
In 2017, T3R Elemento released “Rafa Caro” as the lead single from their debut studio album, “Underground.” This single reached number 44 on the Top Latin Songs chart. The album was followed by “Underground: En Vivo” in 2018. Later in 2018, their album “The Green Trip” reached number five on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart. The group continued their career progression with their third studio album, “Buenas Vibras,” in 2019, which peaked at number 26 on the Top Latin Albums chart. In 2020, they released the album “Nuestra Ola.” The band subsequently released “Exotic Corridos” and its live counterpart “Exotic Corridos: En Vivo” in 2021. Their sixth full-length studio album, “La Divinidad Femenina,” was released in 2022.
T3R Elemento has developed a sound described as “corridos verdes,” reflecting an affinity for cannabis, and their music often explores drug themes from the consumer’s perspective. They are also known for championing the sierreño sound, a minimalistic style often featuring two guitars and a tuba, which they infuse with lyrics about love, cannabis use, and the daily lives of Mexican-Americans in the Southwest U.S. Their collaborations include a 2020 track “Del Barrio a la Ciudad” with Farruko, highlighting their engagement with urban-regional fusions.
