"The first time I ever learned of Mexican singers, it was Cuco Sanchez and Antonio Aguilar, both very different in their singing style and voices. But these both sang of legendary heroes, or criminals as told in corridos. These corridos date back to the Mexican War of Independence (1810-1821) and during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1921). If you are able to translate the lyrics, you will enjoy the stories, but if you cannot, get help by searching for the lyrics to these stories to be heard.



Antonio Aguilar was born in 1919 and died in 2007, and the first time I saw him he was in the movies, singing proudly, riding his horses. He made 167 movies. And, he was one of the first to mix concerts with rodeo style in which his horses would prance gracefully to the music.



The sound on this CD is excellent, an array of instruments that accompany the powerful voice of Aguilar. He is the voice of Mexican corridos, the voice of Mexican music!



The music chosen for this CD Corridos includes mostly upbeat and you will be certain to find historic favorites like Simon Blanco, Heraclio Bernal, Lucio Vasquez, Corrido de Chihuahua, and more! Every song is a gem as this music puts you in a festive memorable mood get the Canta Corridos De La Revolucion Pass this music on!! .....Rizzo
