1. 1. Narcocorrido

   A Journey into the Music of Drugs, Guns and Guerrillas

   

   A historian and musicologist traces the rise of the narcocorrido, placing these ballads about drug traffickers and border violence within the long corrido tradition and broader social, political, and musical currents of Mexico and the U.S. borderlands. Drawing on interviews, lyrical analysis, and historical research, the book shows how these songs both reflect and shape community identities, public perceptions, and the realities of trafficking, and it teases apart mythmaking, commercial forces, censorship, and the influence of popular genres as corridos evolve into contemporary hybrid forms.
