La Rondalla de Saltillo, University Autónoma Agraria Antonio Narro in Saltillo (UAAAN) is a musical organization of university students. In November 2009, turns 43 years old. This rondalla was released in November 1966 in the capital of Coahuila, in the city of Saltillo, where it takes its name.
I saw this musical grouping in Michoacán, while they were on tour for Mexico, in Plaza De Armas a cultural place in that state. They play very good they are five guitarist who plays the chords and three who plays the requinto. Their music is about romantic ballad songs in their discography they have special albums for example Mexican songs, ballad songs, tropical, and trio. They are very known by their own style with 10 or 12 singers. The grouping is a total of 17 musicians in live. They use very common chords, and some rhythms are easy, but not all. They just use acoustic guitars and a instrument called in Mexico tololoche, is like bass but acoustic and big.
This kind of music is very cultural because it promotes the culture, peace, love. They promote learn to play guitar or something musical that is amazing. They are an example that the Mexican cultural music exists in our times, and to continue remembering our musical roots, it says who we are.

The usual musical instruments used by estudiantina members were mandolins, violins, guitars, flutes, cellos, basses, tambourines, castanets, and triangles.
