Border Ballads: The Revolutionary History of Tejano Corridos
Tank Ball heads to San Antonio, Texas to learn about the musical tradition of corridos, which are ballads that were created by the Mexican people along the Texas-Mexican border during the mid-1800s. Corridos are songs that tell the stories of the Mexican and Mexican American people: their heroes and their fight against Anglo racism and Texas Ranger violence.
