Metalachi has performed to sold out audiences around the world and even got an across the board, "si" from their judges when they auditioned for America's Got Talent back in '15.

MTVOnline calls the band a "groundbreaking act" and the Huffington Post proclaims that Metalachi, "pushes both metal rock and mariachi barriers". Their performances sell out nationwide but only in Maricopa can you see them for free in this truly epic Salsapalooza lineup.
