	Corrido - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The corrido is a popular narrative song and poetry form of the mestizo Mexican cultural area (which includes the Southern states of USA, taken from Mexican sovereignship in the midst and late 19th.
		Until the arrival and success of electronic mass-media (mid-20th century), the corrido served in Mexico as the main informational and educational mean, even with subversive purposes, due to its apparent linguistic and musical simplicity, proper for oral transmission.
		In mestizo-Mexican cultural area those three variants of corrido (transcultured romances, "Revolution corrido" and the modern one) are samely alive and sung, along with brother narrative-popular genres, such as the "valona" of Michoacán state, the "son arribeño" of the Sierra Gorda (Guanajuato, Hidalgo and Querétaro states) and others.

		For the corrido a narriative, particularly Mexican, musical form born in the 17th century was a kind of oral news magazine of the 1910 Revolution.
		Obviously there were corridos, well developed and popular, before then, since the songs were the newspapers of the illiterate and the poor (which were not always the same: while the poor were almost always illiterate, the illiterate were not always poor).
		Corridos most certainly were beging sung in one form or another possibly quite primitive during the 1810 War of Indepencence led by Father Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.

	Corridos
		Corridos are a folk art form situated somewhere between oral history and cultural myth.
		Influenced by the native American epic traditions, the corrido emerged in the 19th century and is related to the Spanish romance (Spanish verb – to run).
		These very things are what led to the evolution of the corrido north of the border from the story of the hero to the story of the victim in contemporary settings.

		While folklorists argue the exact birthplace of the present day corrido, most indicate the Mexican-American War and the Texas-Mexico border as the timeframe and location where the largest body of these ballads were written.
		Note that the corrido is a ballad form--the majority those listed as sources in this lesson plan follow a simple four-line stanza with eight syllables on each line where the last word of the second and forth line rhyme.

	ARTSEDGE: Form and Theme in the Traditional Mexican Corrido
		Although many traditional corridos were written about historical events (wars and revolutions) and heroes (John F. Kennedy and Fernando Valenzuela), and major catastrophes (earthquakes and train wrecks), many corridos were written about the common aspects of everyday life, and the ways that everyday life is disrupted.
		Subjects of such corridos have included the struggles and joys in relationships and employment, the characteristics of a hometown or region, and stories of individuals who defend themselves from outside forces.
		Corridos sung along the U.S.-Mexico border in the 19th and early 20th centuries, for instance, often dealt with conflict between the U.S. and Mexico that affected their daily lives.

		While "corridos" of the Mexican Revolution present colourful, graphic depictions of real life heroes, villains, battles, tragedies and triumphs, their true message resides not in their "historic" content per se, but in the common ground shared by opponents in the struggle -their mutual love of the Mexican nation.
		"Corridos" were an exemplary form of communication their words and lyrics flying on the wings of the human spirit from one end of the nation to the other, seemingly faster than a telegraph transmission.
		Somewhere in the clash between corridos praising Villa as a revolutionary hero and those denouncing him as a traitor to the Revolution resides a glimmer of truth about the man and the "True Ideals of the Revolution" -a truth as compre-hensive, complex and contradictory as the soul of the Me-xican nation.

		In its literary form the corrido seems to be a direct descendent of the romance, the Spanish ballad form which developed in the Middle Ages, became a traditional form, and was brought to the New World by Spanish conquistadors.
		In Texas and the border region, the formal opening of the corrido is not as vital as the balladeer's despedida (farewell) or formal close.
		The border corrido developed after 1848 and reached its peak at the height of cultural conflict between 1890 and 1910, at least ten years before the zenith of the Mexican corrido during the Mexican Revolution.

		The corrido celebrates the exploits of Juan Nepomuceno Cortina, a Mexican from the Brownsville-Matamoros area, who, according to Paredes, "was the first man to organize a Texas-Mexican protest against abuses on the part of the Anglos who controlled the Border power structure after 1848" (1976, 22).
		In the corrido, Juan Reyna is clearly portrayed as a hero, though not of the stature of a Joaquín Murrieta.
		The corrido of interethnic conflict is not only a musico-literary genre truly indigenous to Southwest Border culture, but also an effective vehicle for articulating Mexicans' view of their intermittent strife with dominant Anglos.

		Before the late 1920s, at least as far as the Texas corrido is concerned, the genuinely folkloric side tended to predominate while the commercial, popular culture side was limited to the occasional printed broadside and live performances by semi-professional musicians and singers.
		This last corrido is instructive for the fluidity with which topical ballads were being produced during the late 1940s and on through approximately 1990.
		The peculiar situation of the corrido in Texas in the late 1990s is the result of a confluence of ever shifting factors including technology, demographics, and economics as well as cultural trends and developments that all, in one way or another, revolve around the commercialization of the genre.

		Following Paredes, he postulates that the corrido of Border resistance to Anglo-Capitalist encroachment both pre-dates and pre-figures the heroic stance and function of the truly epic corridos of the Revolution as a discourse of resistance to cultural, economic and political hegemony (26-9).
		It is in the 1960s, however, that the corrido undeniably enters a period of renewal both as social event in the community and as a focus of commercial recording.
		The heroic corrido may well live on in a purely residual state for certain Mexican-American groups in the United States, but for the people of the tierra caliente, among others, on both sides of the international frontier, the obituary pronounced on the heroic corrido in the 1950s has proved to have been premature indeed.

		Textual analyses of these works examine the variants between the lyrics of Corrido de “El sol” and Llamadas and the text of the corridos on which they are based.
		Alone, these analyses show that the lyrics contributed to Chávez’s goals insofar as they were taken from the corrido, a form of mass-media that the Mexican people had already adopted as their own.
		Through his polystylistic tendencies and sensitivity to the political climate, Chávez expanded the possibilities of the corrido, contributing to the genre’s adaptability as a soundtrack to current events.
