Description
This collection of 26 rare, original recordings of historic corridos (Mexican narrative ballads) attempts to place the phenomenon of the currently widely popular narcocorrido in its historical and cultural contexts. By presenting these historic recordings of ballads about various aspects of smuggling (not only of drugs) from the past 150 years, it is our hope that we can promote a more informed understanding of how an activity so harmful to society – and those who profit from it – have come to play such a compelling role in the popular imagination. With detailed historical notes and translations, edited and Annotated by Prof. James Nicolopulos.
