Narco corridos // lp limited vinyl design

A limited run of prints for Arhoolie’s Narco Corridos recordings. This collection of rare historic recordings of corridos about various aspects of smuggling (not only of drugs) attempts to place the phenomenon of the currently widely popular narcocorrido in its historical and cultural contexts. By presenting these ballads from the past 150 years it is our hope that we can promote a more informed understanding of how an activity so harmful has come to play such a compelling role in the popular imagination. Edited and Annotated by Prof. James Nicolopulos.
