corrido

Etymology

From Spanish corrido.

corrido (plural corridos)

1. (music) A Mexican or Mexican-American ballad or folk song.

   Hyponym: narcocorrido

   • 2015, John Holmes McDowell, ¡Corrido!: The Living Ballad of Mexico's Western Coast, UNM Press, →ISBN, page 2:

     The Mexican corrido remains essentially true to these Iberian roots in regard to its poetic form and its handling of narrative subjects. It is probable that the term corrido is a shortening of the term romance corrido, meaning a through-sung ballad, as attested in Spanish usage during the sixteenth century (Simmons 1963).
