Publisher's Synopsis
The activity of the bandit before and in the midst of the revolutionary chaos, linked to specific regions and to a desire for collective justice, awakens the need to position them as heroes who alleviate the suffering inflicted by the authorities in power. Probably in this sense the Mexican corrido is still in force since it provides a cathartic sense in the face of injustice and abuse, but in which regions of the country did the corrido reach its greatest importance? Who or who are the direct heirs of the revolutionary bandit and took up again the role of heroes and defenders of the people?
