This year, as part of "Celebrating America 250," the National Endowment for the Arts is partially sponsoring Corridos of the Semiquincentennial: Voices of Courage and Hope, a musical storytelling project developed by Sones de México Ensemble to honor eight national heroes through the creation and performance of eight new traditional Mexican corridos.
