quote:
But do you want modern tragedies, so that the cantaores will have something to sing about? Something like that is occurring in Mexico these days, where the traditional "corridos" (which used to be ballads about vaqueros, unrequited love, and outlaws) have largely been overtaken by "narcocorridos," ballads extolling the exploits of drug traffickers. Bill
