Louie talks with Howard Campbell, UTEP Sociology and Anthropology chair, about his ongoing study of narcocorridos, a specialized version of songwriting that has its roots that date back at least a century, and can be traced as a story telling tool to Iberian talespinners.
Arhoolie Records has a volume of the best of narcocorridos available: http://arhoolie.com and for more information on the UTEP Sociology and Anthropology department, visit http://academics.utep.edu/Default.aspx?alias=academics.utep.edu/sociology
