The Mariachi set down his instrument. He reached out and touched the boy's face, feeling the shape of his determination.

The music drives the editing. In the final shootout, bullets fire on the rhythm of a bass drum. The score shifts from spaghetti western whistling to electronic cumbia without warning.
