About this book

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 Amrico Paredes presents sixty-six of these songs in bilingual text--along with their music notes on tempo and performance and discography. Manuel Peas new foreword situates these songs within the main currents of Mexican American music.
