About this book

A Texas-Mexican Cancionero: Folksongs of the Lower Border by Paredes, Américo. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780292765580.

The folksongs of Texass Mexican population pulsate with the lives of folk heroes, gringos, smugglers, generals, jailbirds, and beautiful women.

Manuel Peñas new foreword situates these songs within the main currents of Mexican American music.
