25 Años (25 Years) (1993) is the tenth studio album by Mexican rock and blues band El Tri. It was released in cassette and compact disc format by WEA Latina in 1993.
The album was recorded at two studios: Indigo Ranch in Malibu, California, United States, and Kay-Nah in Mexico City, Mexico.
The name is a reference to the duration of the career of Alex Lora who started playing in 1968 with the past incarnation of the band known as Three Souls in My Mind.
Following the release of the album 25 Años in 1993, El Tri performed concerts throughout Mexico. In the same year, Alex Lora published a book titled Lora, Vida y Rock and Roll.
In 1994, Felipe Souza left the band after moving to New York City, United States. He was replaced by guitarist Oscar Zarate, who joined in April of the same year.
The most remarkable song of the album is the single "Pobre Soñador" a romantic hymn.
