Metal Saves: Brujeria Meet Tijuana Fan Who Fought off Muggers to See Show

Rocio Ruvalcaba is a young metalhead living in Tijuana, Mexico, and for her, as it is for many fans, metal isn't just a style of music, it's a passion and a community that helps sustain her through tough times. For the debut episode of our series "Metal Saves" - which profiles fans and their deep connection to their favorite bands - we joined her in her hometown, where she shared her story of fighting off muggers so she had money for an upcoming show, and brought her together with Mexican metal heroes Brujería when they came through.

Thanks,amigo!

[@ishoa5018]

Brujeria is one of the amazing Mexican cultures of death metal making their own root of metal with no fear in the words and ready to take out anyone in their way their music is a loud voice letting you know the injustice of History and Payback is the answer for the racism like the law of Pancho via. how power and curse could be reality thank you brujeria

[@annihilation777]

Payback is coming

[@matthernandez5089]

I’m a Mexican-American metalhead and when she said one of her favorite bands was Pantera, I fell in love instantly. Why can’t there be someone like her where I live fr

[@markschlingloff5155]

That was a cool upload. It's nice to know Metal hasn't died. I never knew Mr. Brujo can speak English. He sounds like a straight Chicano.

A ver, no entiendo el fin de este mini video, al menos esta parte si es qué hay o habrá más; no le veo el sentido, hay much@s fanaticos del metal como ella, con opiniones tan relevantes o más de las de su “protagonista”, que son verdaderos melomanos de esta música o con algo más que aportar, mi opinión no es con el fin de denostar o minimizar este trabajo, pero la verdad no entiendo el fin, o su aportación.
