International Conference on the Corrido
In 1996 the Arhoolie Foundation contributed to the presentation of two well known corridistas and their conjuntos from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico to appear in person at the second International Conference on the Corrido held in January of 1996 in Austin, TX. under the auspices of the Center For Mexican-American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin.

Several Corrido Conferences have been held since then‚ all largely due to the persistent efforts of the late Prof. Guillermo Hernandez of the UCLA Chicano Studies Center.
