On Tour? It’s No Excuse

TIMES STAFF WRITER

When one singer from the Bronx and two brothers from Cuba collided in Miami, the upshot was “No Mercy,” literally.

Marty Cintron, 25, and 24-year-old twins Ariel and Gabriel Hernandez used to work out in gyms, bike ride and roller-blade at Miami’s South Beach and play a little basketball. Now the group spends most of its time on tour for the Latin pop “No Mercy” album (Arista).
