PANCORDIA - the two-fisted accordion weblog
Narcocorrido

The corrido is a centuries-old Mexican narrative ballad form which documents current events, including the adventures of outlaws and revolutionaries. Today, the narcocorrido documents the exploits of true-life drug traffickers and gangsters. All with hard-driving, conjunto accordion. This page supports Elijah Wald's book, Narcocorrido: A Journey into the Music of Drugs, Guns and Guerrillas. The page includes links to much more information, including lyrics and some audio sources, somewhere or other.
