Review of SONG OF THE CORRIDISTAS


Great production, great story. Didn't know much about the Corridos, Mexican American ganster ballads with a long history since Poncho Villa days. Besides the colorful stories of gunfighters and gangsters, this piece interweaves beautifully upbeat ballads that have now become popular with young people in young, hip L.A. and other parts of the U.S. What a great special this would make for Cinco de Mayo or anytime really. Not just about outlaws, this piece gives insight to the rebels and heroes living out the outskirts of society and the music that keeps their stories and memories alive through song. Give a listen....Dmae
