Incorridos

Incorridos, also known as "corridos tumbados" or "corridos de la Sierra," are a genre of Mexican folk music that originated in the Sierra Madre Occidental region of Mexico. The term "incorridos" is derived from the Spanish word "incorregible," which means incorrigible or incorrigibly bad, reflecting the genre's reputation for its explicit and often violent lyrics. Incorridos are typically performed in a slow, mournful tempo, with a distinctive, melancholic melody.

The lyrics of incorridos often deal with themes of love, heartbreak, and social issues, and are known for their vivid and explicit imagery. The music is characterized by its use of traditional instruments such as the vihuela, guitar, and accordion, as well as the distinctive voice of the singer, who often employs a wide vocal range and expressive delivery.

Incorridos have a rich history and cultural significance in Mexico, and have been performed and recorded by numerous artists over the years. The genre has also gained international recognition, with many artists and bands incorporating elements of incorridos into their own music. Despite their controversial reputation, incorridos remain an important and enduring part of Mexico's musical heritage.
