Abstract

The present compilation of ballads from the Mexican states of Guerrero and Oaxaca documents one of the world's great traditions of heroic song, a tradition that has thrived continuously for the last hundred years. The 107 corridos presented here, gathered during ethnographic research over a period of twenty-five years in settlements on Mexico's Costa Chica and Costa Grande, offer a window into the ethos of heroism among the cultures of Mexico's southwestern coast, a region that has been plagued by recurrent cycles of violence.

Abstract

Gregorio Cortez Lira, a ranchhand of Mexican parentage, was virtually unknown until one summer day in 1901 when he and a Texas sheriff, pistols in hand, blazed away at each other after a misunderstanding. The sheriff was killed and Gregorio fled immediately, realizing that in practice there was one law for Anglo-Texans, another for Texas-Mexicans. The chase, capture, and imprisonment of Cortez are high drama that cannot easily be forgotten. Even today, in the cantinas along both sides of the Rio Grande, Mexicans sing the praises of the great "sheriff-killer" in the ballad which they call "El Corrido de Gregorio Cortez." Américo Paredes tells the story of Cortez, the man and the legend, in vivid, fascinating detail in "With His Pistol in His Hand," which also presents a unique study of a ballad in the making. Deftly woven into the story are interpretations of the Border country, its history, its people, and their folkways.--

Abstract

En esta obra se muestran textos representativos de la tradición mexicana en la Sierra Gorda (partes de los estados de San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato y Querétaro) y el estado de Veracruz, con algunos ejemplos de la ciudad de México, grabados en fiestas y entrevistas, o tomados de cuadernos de trovadores y hojas sueltas. El material, hasta ahora inédito, ha sido recopilado en las salidas de campo del equipo de investigadores del Seminario de Tradiciones Populares de El Colegio de México, empeñados en registrar, especialmente, la memoria colectiva de la décima y la glosa en décimas, y de otros géneros como las coplas líricas, el corrido, el romance y las adivinanzas. También es amplio el registro de celebraciones civiles y religiosas, con toda la riqueza de su ritual, y de representaciones tradicionales como las pastorelas.
