They were featured in a long running national TV ad for KIT KAT candy bars which became a tongue-in-cheek anthem for them.

Mariachi Tepalcatepec De Michoacan - Colton, California
Mariachi Tepalcatepec De Michoacan is truly a cultral treasure from "Tierra Caliente" Michoacan, Mexico. since 1938. Their (sones and songs of passion, love, protest and story telling), recreate news of the times and descriptive musical recollections of heroes, villains, and the people. As with most mariachi, there is wealth of history dating back more than two hundred years. They wear the classic traditional costume of horsemen, laden with silver conchos (known simply as "Botonaduras") and talent is passed down from father to son. Mariachi Tepalcatepec performs with a stlye long popular in the "Tierra Caliente" region of Michoacan Mexico, but comparatively new to North America. One of The original founders of this stlye was Jesus Espinoza, also known as "El Jasmiche" (El-Has-mee-che). A violin player From The early 1900's.

Alex Gonzalez have embellished upon "El Jasmiche" format to enhance the style once comprised solely of Guitarra de golpe, one Violin and Harp. The Guitarron, Vihuela and Trumpet came later. Augmented now to six Violin, Guitarra de golpe, Vihuela, Guitarron, Arpa, one Trumpet. still in the same style. They have a broader sound than that of the smaller groups, from "Tierra Caliente" who are not referred to as Mariachi, but rather as "Conjunto de Arpa Grande".
