Adelita

This song is a corrido from the Mexican revolution, called Adelita, which is still a poplular Mariachi tune. J and I are going to record a version of it next week, with button accordion, accordion, guitar and percussion. The name "Adelita" refers to a woman who follows her husband to battle in the Mexican Civil Revolution of 1910. An "Adelita", or female soldier, is also known as a soldadera.
