This article examines popular citizenship practices among the Indians of the Sierra Norte de Puebla (Mexico), focusing on the brass bands that participated in religious and patriotic festivals. Rather than analysing the bands as part of the region's popular Liberalism, or concentrating on the festivals' nationalistic content, as previous studies have done, it underlines how the bands' organisation combined customary Indian practices with Liberal regulations, and transformed both. This resulted in the successful exercise of citizenship providing bandsmen with effective participation in face-to-face community life and a form of connection with the wider national sphere
