1 artists

The corrido is a narrative ballad — a sung tale of oppression, history, outlaw life and the vaquero world — that was hugely popular during the Mexican Revolution and helped shape Tejano music. In its classic form the singer opens with a greeting, tells the story, and closes with a moral and farewell.

Here it is represented by Chalino Sánchez, a defining voice of the modern corrido.
