Probably the most popular Latino art form is found in music. Having at its core the corrido, or ballad, the art form is based on earlier ballads from southern Spain. Peaking in popularity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, corridos relayed the conflicts and heroes of South Texas.

In the nineteenth century, the groups gained popularity, especially in Jalisco.
