Noun
corrido (plural corridos)
- (music) A Mexican or Mexican-American ballad or folk song.

- 1984 February 4, David Morris, “Different Origins: Joto Güero del West Side”, in Gay Community News, volume 11, number 28, page 16:
- Like most Anglos in the Southwest, he could listen tolerantly, if not with great pleasure, to trios and mariachis, the music of the bourgeoisie in Mexico, but express nothing but scorn for corridos, the music of the poor in northern Mexico and the southwestern United States.
- 2015, John Holmes McDowell, ¡Corrido!: The Living Ballad of Mexico's Western Coast, UNM Press, →ISBN, page 2:
- The Mexican corrido remains essentially true to these Iberian roots in regard to its poetic form and its handling of narrative subjects. It is probable that the term corrido is a shortening of the term romance corrido, meaning a through-sung ballad, as attested in Spanish usage during the sixteenth century (Simmons 1963).
