This embodiment of The Bronx was originally conceived as a new twist on the electric-goes-acoustic performance. Citing the influence of various worldwide locales, as well as the addition of guitarron player Vincent Hidalgo (son of David Hidalgo of Los Lobos and Latin Playboys,) eventually Mariachi El Bronx was born. The record was produced by Jon Avilla, and features percussion by Alfredo Ortiz and orchestration by an unnamed but renowned string quartet.
The band will perform in a variety of different ways, sometimes incorporating mariachi into their punk set, sometimes playing two nights at a venue performing each band respectively, often having one band open for the other.
Though at the outset this reincarnation of The Bronx as a mariachi outfit may seem like a departure, it in fact deviates little from the band's original path. According to the band, "mariachi music is every bit as much a soundtrack to southern California" as The Bronx's raucous punk rock. With Mariachi El Bronx, the band yet again proves it can and will redefine what punk means, sounds like, and doesn't look like.
