A Texas-Mexican Cancionero: Folksongs of the Lower Border

A Texas-Mexican Cancionero: Folksongs of the Lower Border

The folksongs of Texas's Mexican population pulsate with the lives of folk heroes, gringos, smugglers, generals, jailbirds, and beautiful women. In his cancionero, or songbook, AmÃ©rico Paredes presents sixty-six of these songs in bilingual textâ€”along with their music, notes on tempo and performance, and discography. Manuel PeÃ±a's new foreword situates these songs within the main currents of Mexican American music.
