They also claim Bronson is profiting off their music, and inadvertently admitted to the crime in an interview last year. "I like to cook to Spanish and Latin music,” he said. “If you're in the kitchen ... I'd suggest bands like El Gran Cambo de Puerto Rico."
The group is suing for unspecified damages.
