The Mexican Revolution outbreak, in 1910, revealed the instability of the economic, political, and social processes that had been gestated in the country since the independence period. Beyond these aspects, the Revolution was felt in the arts, in music, literature, iconography, and in other cultural manifestations. It is in cultural analysis that the theme of this dissertation is justified, whose objective is to identify Zapatista representations found in popular songs known as corridos. Part of the proposed methodology of this study consisted of bibliographical and documentary research, based on the collection, selection, and analysis of Mexican corridos produced during the revolutionary period. Simultaneously, there is a try to understand the role of the corridos as a means of communication between farmers and as an instrument of propagation of Zapatista ideals. In this sense, this study establishes a dialogue with historiographic production and seeks to evidence the relationship between history and popular culture by giving special emphasis to popular music. Such interactions involving political and socio-cultural experiences can, most undoubtedly, uncover other scenarios of Zapatismo and of the construction of revolutionary memory.
