The Triplets are a Rock Pop trio that crossed over musical boundaries from the U.S through Latin America. Composed of the triplets Diana, Sylvia, and Vicky Villegas (all born April 18th) of an American mother and a Mexican father, the group recorded in both English and Spanish. They first gained recognition after winning the MTV Basement Contest in 1986 for the song "Boys", and were awarded a contract with Elektra Records and released their first EP "Break The Silence"
