  • Corridos "The Corrido has a long tradition in Mexico throughout all the different stages of its history. Although it had considerable resurgence during the Revolution, it continues to be a live musical form of expression in the present." Check it out!

  • Alberto Mesta Jr's Corridos Mexicanos A collection of about 40 Corridos mostly about the Mexican Revolution of 1910. " . . . ll of the Corridos are in Espanol/Spanish, thus if you do not know Espanol, we encourage you to learn it."

  • Migrant Labor Corridos The historical background, and the discussion written in English. Check out the links at the bottom of the page to hear some of these Corridos sang in Spanish.

  • Popular Travel Corridos "These 1930 migration corridos required the invention of a different repetoire of verbal formulas and thematic motifs for the corridista to draw upon. However, some formulas are really not "new" at all, but rather adaptions of former heroic corrido formulas."
