A Talonear!! (Let's Walk Around) (2007) is the 26th album by Mexican rock and blues band El Tri, based in Mexico City.
The Allmusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album four stars stating "Some of yesterday's angry young men have mellowed with time and let go of much of their youthful passion, but not Alejandro Lora... the longtime leader of El Tri is every bit as edgy, ballsy, and gutsy as he was back in the '70s and '80s—which is not to say that anger is the only thing that Lora expresses on this engaging rock en español album... . Longtime fans of El Tri will be happy to know that after all these years, Lora is still very much on top of his game throughout the excellent A Talonear."

El Tri is a Mexican rock band from Mexico City fronted by Alex Lora. It is a spinoff of Three Souls in My Mind, formed in 1968. The group is regarded as influential in the development of Mexican rock music.
Over the years, El Tri's sound has touched on several different styles including rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, acoustic rock, blues-rock, and blues. The group has enjoyed moderate success garnering numerous gold-certified albums in Mexico.
The name "Three Souls in My Mind" was initially chosen as a nod towards conventions for long band names in rock and roll. Originally composed of Alejandro Lora on bass Memo Berea lead guitar and lead vocals, Ernesto de Leon on lead guitar, and Carlos Hauptvogel on the drums, the band has been accompanied on some albums by Arturo Labastida on saxophone and Carlos Martinez on trumpet. Sergio Mancera also played guitar on some albums. They performed their first public engagement in October, 1968, and released 15 albums on the RAFF record label before officially changing their name and lineup in 1985.
Voy rolando por la gran ciudad, viendo a miles de gentes pasar,
unos van sonriendo, otros van muy serios y otros van corriendo
como queriendo escapar,
De pronto vean los niños de la esquina estan, pidiendo para un taco,
pidiendo para un pan, sus caritas se reflejan la necesidad y el vacío
que se siente cuando tu no estas,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que la eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
La gente pasa sin voltear a ver, a los pobres niños que no tienen que
comer, algunos les dan algo pero la mayoria no da nada y su triste
mirada me hace sentir,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que el eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que el eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
Mas prendido que el sol, mas oscuro que la negra noche, mas profundo
que el mar, mas absurdo que la realidad, mas ardiente que el fuego
infernal, mas inmenso que el eternidad, así es el vacío que se siente
cuando tu no estas,
Cuando tu no estas,
