  Steve Loza M.A. '79, Ph.D. '85, a UCLA professor of ethnomusicology who has taught most of the Herreras, calls the siblings part of the "Herrera dynasty. He recalls their father's jarocho band performing at UCLA and notes that the Herreras' uncles, an aunt and several cousins also have attended UCLA.
  
  "They are incredibly musically talented," Loza says. "They learned from so young and can switch easily from huasteco to norteo."
  
  The Herreras also are a testament to the growing number of second- and third-generation Chicanos who retain their cultural roots.
  
  "When I was growing up, it was unheard of for a young Chicano to play in a mariachi or norteo group," Loza says.

"When I was growing up, it was unheard of for a young Chicano to play in a mariachi or norteño group," Loza, 56, said. "There was a lot of discrimination and this pressure to assimilate to so-called mainstream culture." "Those attitudes have been changing," he added.
