On the Phenomena of Narcocorridos and Narcoculture Hemispheric Institute; Herlinghaus, Hermann journal, revista music, música Americas, Américas, Américas Central America, Centroamérica Mexico, México ENG: The so-called \"narcocorrido\" presents itself as a tremendous anachronism that has emerged on the Western hemisphere since the seventies, and especially during the eighties and nineties of the last century, a cultural form and a way of telling, singing and performing that has become widely notorious on both sides of the hemispheric border. Contrary to the assumptions of academic corrido specialists, the corrido which has evolved as a medieval Spanish ballad style, reemerging in the New World especially in the northern border regions since the Mexican-American War (1848) and achieving huge popularity during the Mexican Revolution (1910-1917), has not arrived at its predicted decline. Instead, it has lived a vibrant revitalization within contemporary dynamics in technology, geopolitical space, and an ever increasing economic, social and coercive violence between the Americas.
