Legendary Mexican band Bronco made a stop in New York’s UBS Arena on Saturday (Aug. 19) to deliver their signature grupera swagger with a heady repertoire that spanned decades.
With a storied career that has garnered them an ardent international following, their concert was an electrifying spectacle that blended nostalgia with contemporary energy, a todo color.
Indeed, as part of their U.S. 2023 tour, dubbed ¡En Vivo y A Todo Color!, the Nuevo León quintet delivered all-time genre favorites like “Adoro,” “Que No Quede Huella” and the accordion-led ballad “Nunca Voy a Olvidarte,” famously covered by Cristian Castro. The iconic regional Mexican music band also showcased their heart-rending ballads, energetic cumbia, and, of course, their synth-driven grupera classics.
Composed of frontman José Guadalupe “Lupe” Esparza, who also plays the bass, guitarist José Adán Esparza, drummer Javier Cantú, bassist René Guadalupe Esparza, and keyboardist/accordionist Arsenio Guajardo, the electrifying troupe rocked the stage for nearly two hours.
Neon lights bathed the UBS Arena in a kaleidoscope of colors, while fans from diverse Latin backgrounds and generations came together to show off their swaggering Norteño gear, with plenty of them equipped with their cowboy hats and boots to celebrate the enduring legacy of Bronco.
Here are the five best moments from Bronco’s ¡En Vivo y A Todo Color! performance in NYC.
