Metales M5
Mexico's Leading Brass Quintet
When one thinks about Mexican music, the first type that comes to mind is a mariachi band. A mariachi band is somewhat similar to the brass quintet, Metales M5, except that Metales plays not only mariachi music but all kinds of music including classical, jazz and pops. Their programming is nicely balanced between classical pieces (played in costume), jazz tunes including a segment of "007" music (also in costume), and finishing off with lots of rousing Mexican folk tunes including a bullfight scene.Their unique style of combining fine chamber music with popular entertainment makes Metales M5 incomparable!
