Corrido Tumbado
The mountains collect their debts in four strings and silence.
Corrido Tumbado is a style from the Roots That Hold Fast family. 98 BPM, Weirdness 18, Style Influence 95.
A walking requinto, breathing charchetas, and a deep tololoche. Corrido tumbado, the laid-back new voice of the barrio: relaxed on the outside, intense on the inside.

Sample excerpt
Yo no ando gritando lo que traigo, me lo guardo en la bolsa del pantalón. El que sabe, sabe; el que no, que pregunte, y el que pregunta mucho, ya se equivocó.
Tranquilo, compa, que aquí nadie corre, el requinto camina y yo camino igual. Lo que costó, costó, y no se presume: se nota en cómo me siento a mirar.
Workshop note — La calma es la actitud: verbos lentos, frases que terminan en punto y no en grito. El corrido tumbado presume por omisión. A 98 BPM el verso cabe en el paso del requinto, y el estribillo repite "camina" como el tololoche repite la nota.
