Hispanic Alliance for the Performing Arts was founded to encourage Hispanic participation in the arts and to provide music education programs for youth. The organization sought to improve equity and representation in the arts at all levels while supporting the artistic, social, and academic development of underserved youth throughout Central Texas. 

In October 2011, HAPA launched an El Sistema inspired music education program, Austin Soundwaves. After starting with 42 students at a single site in East Austin, Austin Soundwaves currently serves nearly 500 students in grades 1-12 across 11 schools. Programming has evolved and grown in scope since 2011 and now includes traditional band and orchestra programming as well as mariachi, improvisation, and interdisciplinary programming that encourages activism through music.
