    Corridos in
    Migrant ...

    Does everybody
    have their own
    corrido?

    How is it that news


    is spread through
    the music? It makes
    me wonder how else
    music is a form of
    communication.

    World Music Page 3


    Corridos seem
    very versatile in
    their subject
    matter.

    They seem
    theatrical as
    well.

    The corridos
    tell the story
    and emotion of
    the people
    here.

    Corridos are preserving Mexican culture. They teach us what the lives of the
    immigrants are really like.

    The corrido is on of the only ways we see Mexican
    history through the lens of the people living it.

    Are these
    words to a
    song?

    World Music Page 8


    Corridos often tell of the people who brought about changes in Mexican History.

    World Music Page 9


    They are a very
    informal, maybe
    "backwoods" type of
    music.

    Corridos are similar to


    political articles. It is
    about showing a
    position about a
    situation. I don't think
    we have much music
    like that.

    Does this mean that they are too


    personal to have a relevant public
    application?

    There is a very wide spectrum of topics, unlike all of our love songs.

    World Music Page 10


    Our culture is so set that we have to "detox" from it. That shows how
    narrowminded we can be.
