Topic > Analysis of Mexican Corridos - 723

Lotte I grew up in a Mexican family listening to corridos, which are a type of song, since at every party, every celebration and every occasion, that's what the family played. As I became more aware and aware, I began to realize what these songs were really saying. These corridors told a life story, ranging from life issues such as poverty, hard times, immigration, social and political problems, and/or life in general. An important and recurring theme that I saw developing everywhere was immigration. Many of these songs expressed strong feelings that many Mexican immigrants, including my parents and other family members, felt about their citizenship status, how they were discriminated against, and ultimately how they felt. These corridos are about how America was born free, how man divided it, and how essentially these people are just as American as "real" Americans because they have worked hard for what they have with blood, sweat and tears. And despite being first generation Mexican-American, I can relate too. Although this type of corridos is somewhat controversial, there is a universal theme which is: never give up, never lose sight of your dreams, and if you work hard you will get what you want. decided to be. Some of these corridos celebrate what they have accomplished by telling their lives after winning the struggle. I cannot personally relate to these struggles, not in the sense that I have experienced them, but through a medium of inspiration. These corridors motivate me to never lose sight of what I want for myself in life, so that one day I can achieve everything I set out to accomplish. Ultimately, these corridos give voice to the success stories of Latinos who started from the bottom and worked diligently to achieve their life goals
