Soldadera#Adelita

A corrido is a Mexican narrative folk ballad that tells stories of heroes, battles, and everyday events. During the Revolution (1910-1920), corridos spread news and legends from camp to camp, and La Adelita became the most famous of them all.

The song honors the soldaderas, the women who traveled with and fought alongside the revolutionary armies. ‘Adelita’ became such a powerful symbol that the name is still used for any brave woman of the Revolution.
