Bronco brings unique sound to Bob Hope Theatre
BRONCO PIX

The Bob Hope Theatre in Stockton will present a night of exciting entertainment as Bronco, the renowned Mexican Regional music sensation, takes center stage on Saturday, Feb. 24 at 8 p.m.

Bronco will throw on their cowboy boots and spectacularly embroidered jumpsuits to hit the road for their tour. Mixing traditional norteño sounds with elements of pop and modern instruments, Bronco will have venues packed with mega-fans across the U.S.

Originating in Apodaca, Nuevo León, Mexican grupero band Bronco began drawing crowds with their modern take on regional Mexican music in the 1980s and 1990s. Band members José Guadalupe Esparza, Ramiro Delgado, Javier Villarreal and José Luis “Choche” Villarreal began blending the traditional norteño sounds of accordion and bajo sexto with pop elements and modern instruments like the keyboard. The group paired their popular sound with eye-catching jumpsuits, and fans couldn’t get enough. Bronco released their debut album Te Quiero Cada Día Más in 1980, but it was their 1989 album, A Todo Galope, that gained them international attention. The album’s popularity resulted in a tour across the United States, Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, and many other countries. In 1990, Bronco even appeared in the movie Bronco La Película (Bronco: The Movie). They achieved further fame on the small screen in 1993, when the members provided the theme song for and starred in the Televisa soap opera Dos Mujeres, un Camino (Two Women, One Road). The group’s 2004 return album Sin Riendas went straight to No. 1 on both the Latin Albums and Mexican Regional Albums charts. Bronco has released dozens of albums, sold over 12 million copies and has placed 16 albums in the Top 10 on the Mexican Regional Albums chart.
