About this book

TEXAS MEXICAN CANCIONERO (Music in American Life) by Paredes, Americo. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780252008948.

The folksongs of Texass Mexican population pulsate with the lives of folk heroes, gringos, smugglers, generals, jailbirds, and beautiful women. In his cancionero, or songbook, Américo Paredes presents sixty-six of these songs in bilingual text--along with their music, notes on tempo and performance, and discography. Manuel Peñas new foreword situates these songs within the main currents of Mexican American music.
