Mariachi El Bronx Returns to Charlotte

After a 10-year hiatus, Los Angeles trailblazers Mariachi El Bronx are dusting off their charro suits for a return to Charlotte. The alter ego of punk rock heroes The Bronx, this eight-piece band brings a unique mariachi style rooted in resilient storytelling.

According to singer Matt Caughthran, punk rock and mariachi music are spiritually entwined forces. "It's working class music. It's real music," he explains. With three acclaimed albums to their name, they have shared stages with Foo Fighters and lit up festivals like Coachella.
