El Triunfo's most famous local musician was Francisca Mendoza, a concert pianist who had studied in San Francisco before returning to at the turn of the twentieth century to teach and perform. According to one source, so many pianos were imported into the town at that time that it had more pianos per capita than anywhere else in Mexico! El Triunfo's music museum displays an amazing collection of these instruments.
