Mariachi El Bronx on World Cafe

Wednesday, April 8th, 2026

For about 5 years, The Bronx was a punk rock band. And then, like a full-band Clark Kent going into a phone booth and transforming into Superman, they emerged with an alter-ego: Mariachi El Bronx. Since then, they’ve split their time between both projects. Singer Matt Caughthran talks about how punk rock and mariachi music may have more in common than you’d think, and you’ll get to hear Mariachi El Bronx perform songs from their latest album Mariachi El Bronx (IV) live, on the next World Cafe.
