The Road Warrior-dressed trumpeter,
El Cucuy, stole the spotlight just with
his stage presence. How does one
Pictured: El Cucuy describe his persona? Let’s say, El
Cucuy has the look of a folkloric
Mexican bogeyman whose
performance wardrobe resides
somewhere between an Oakland
Raiders’ "Black Hole" member and a
Latino Gene Simmons.
He spook-tified, but at the same time,
aroused the audience with his
trademark cod piece thrust.
Amazingly, he somehow managed to
not poke anyone’s eye with that
weapon he was wielding.
El Cucuy’s rock n’ roll trumpet
enhances the dynamic of the Mariachi
concert every time he takes center
stage and leads the party.
