What began years ago as a few chaotic hometown shows has grown into a yearly ritual for the band and their fans. “Cinco de Mayo has become sacred to Mariachi El Bronx,” says songwriter and lead vocalist Matt Caughthran. “This year, armed with a brand-new album, we’re expanding Cinco de Mayo to include some places El Bronx hasn’t played in ages. We’ll be playing new songs, old songs, classic hits and even some deep cuts we’ve never played live before.”
The tour follows the release of Mariachi El Bronx IV, the band’s first album in over a decade, which has been met with widespread praise for its vivid storytelling and dynamic blend of traditional mariachi instrumentation with the raw edge of punk. Songs like “Forgive Or Forget,” “Bandoleros” and “RIP Romeo” showcase the group at their most confident, balancing reverence for Mexican regional music with a restless, modern energy.
An alter ego of Los Angeles punk veterans The Bronx, Mariachi El Bronx channel tales of gamblers, warriors, lovers and lost souls navigating modern life, all delivered with heart, humor and hard-won grit. Tickets for the West Coast “Cinco De Mayo Tour” go on sale Friday, February 27 at 9am PT.
