Suppose that Americans hadn't been quite so active about the "Mexican Adventure" going to the south, and more Egyptian troops had been shipped to Egypt. Instead of being heavily influenced by popular brass band music, Mexican popular music of the late 1800s becomes heavily influenced by Egyptian styling. That influence persists to modernity with mariachi bands featuring flute and dumbek players.
