Is it Mariachi or Heavy Metal? No it’s Metalachi

Metalachi

Metalachi hails from Los Angeles, California, a five member classically trained Mariachi

musicians. Using a twist of Hark Rock and mix of Mariachi Mexican flair the band soon

were traveling North America from Mexico to Canada turning metal classic like Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi, and Slayer into a creative new style called Metalachi.


Starting off the night with "Highway to Hell" and "Welcome to the Jungle" the band got the

crowd jumping. Vocalist Vega De La Rockha’s vocal range can adapt to any song. Backed by Paco Halen on guitar, Diablo Huero on trumpet, Kiko Cane on guitarron, and the amazing violinist Queen Kyla. Halfway through the performance De La Rockha felt they should allow one of the members of the band to have a solo, Queen Kyla takes the challenge and for over 15 minutes wows the audiences with a tour of classic, to rock, to Mariachi violin melodies that raised the roof. The crowd went wild as she continued to play, ending the song with the whole band playing and the crowd cheering. Each band member had their opportunity to shine through out the night, as they showed off their talent, bringing the crowd to a loud chant at the end of an encore which the band ran back on stage willing to bring the audience what it wanted, more great music.


In between songs the five all joked and laughed at themselves about their Mexican

heritage, and their music, entertaining the crowd with outlandish stories that

always wound up leading up to the next song, as each song started the crowd sang

along, danced and jumped to the music. It is obvious they are not your typical

cover band; they bring to the stage a new energy unmatched by any other band.
