Trifecta was the debut album released by the guitarist Pavlo, Rik Emmett, Oscar Lopez.^[1] It originated with Pavlo’s long-standing inspiration by the famous guitar trio project of Paco de Lucía, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin, Pavlo wanted to create a Canadian Guitar Trio. When many thought it would be too difficult to collaborate with other musicians that were famous within their own genres, Pavlo called on legendary guitarists, Oscar Lopez, and Hall of Famer, Rik Emmett (lead guitarist from rock group, Triumph).
