Carpas
  

 Corridos
Stories, often passed down through oral
traditions, a gift handed down from one generation to the next. From Grandparent to child.		  

 

In the tradition of the Mexican traveling tent show, carpas were somewhere between vaudeville and circus.
  

Simply put, stories put to music. Legends and great acts of humble people have historically been carried from one
community to another, by word of song.
