What do you get when you mix the sound of heavy metal rock music…with Mexican mariachi music? The answer is Metalachi. Metalachi’s members call themselves the first and only heavy metal mariachi band. They mix the traditional mariachi sound from Mexico with modern Heavy metal. The group performs songs like “We’re Not Gonna Take It” by the band Twisted Sister and “Rock and Roll All Nite” by KISS in their one of a kind style. “I think we’ve transformed the music enough to say that we actually came up with our own genre,” said Metalachi’s trumpet player, who likes to be called El Cucuy. He spoke to the Reuters news agency at one of the band’s recent shows, in Los Angeles, California. He added, “There’s some people that consider either mariachi music or metal music almost like a religion…but most of the time, people love what we do.”
