Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the need for a "History of Mexican Music" course at California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA). The class will include a performance ensemble(lab), curriculum based on the History of Mexican music (lecture) and will be considered an open elective making it accessible to the general student body. This course will give birth to the first ever Mexican "Banda" at CSULA, Banda Aguilas de Los Angeles. This project report will review literature that explains a need for curriculum that focus specifically on Mexican music, how Mexican music influenced the United States, and why "Banda" was chosen as the specific performance ensemble.
