DOWNEY – The Downey Theatre's 2022-23 season continues February 10, 2023, when the Mariachi Rock Revolution dazzles and delights Downey with their own unique take on the art form.

A spectacle of sight and sound, Mariachi Rock Revolution features a metal-fueled and mariachi-infused combo of traditional mariachi and modern rock and electronica.

Song selections include "metallized" mariachi standards plus covers of well-known metal/rock hits, woven together into a show rife with dark imagery, Mexican folklore, and stunning lighting and visual effects.

Created by Austin, Texas Latinx rocker/electric violinist Haydn Vitera, the 8-member band plays both traditional mariachi instruments, such as the trumpet and vihuela, and more modern instruments, such as the electric violin, delivered in the context of a modern metal band.

The group eschews traditional mariachi attire-the traje de charo-and decorate their faces in traditional Mexican sugar skull face paint, adding to their intense and dramatic performance.

Mariachi Rock Revolution perform sold-out shows; recently they've collaborated with rock violinists and vocalists on a signature version of Ozzy Osborn and Lita Ford's "Close My Eyes Forever."

Tickets are $55.00 and are on sale now at the Theatre box office (562) 861-8211 or www.DowneyTheatre.org
