... Pancho Villa One of the most notorious rebels in Mexico was Pancho villa Doroteo Aranga.. Pancho Villa was important because he was part of the group of rebels who supported Francisco Madero in the Mexican Revolution when he rose up against the regime of Porfirio Diaz. Madero came to power but was then overthrown and killed. Victoriano Huerta then took power. Villa was the leader of one of the armies that fought against Huerta's regime. Villa and the other leaders were able to overthrow Huerta and to set up the semi-democratic system that is still in place in Mexico today, it has become much more democratic in the last 12 years. Pancho Villa then was famous because he was one of the leaders of the Mexican Revolution. Villa's Robin Hood story began after he established himself and his bandit followers in the sierras in 1900. Officially, the years 1900-09 are "unaccounted for," but it was during this period that he became a legendary hero to the poor for skillfully evading the Porfiriato's oppressive rurales. In 1910 Villa and his men came down from the hills to join Fransisco l Madero’s revolutionary forces, therefore making an historical transition from ‘bandidos’ to ‘revolucionarios’. The compelling figure was able to recruit an army of thousands, including a substantial number of Americans, some of whom were made captains in the División del Norte. Pancho even created one squadron made up entirely...

...biggest competitor was Francisco I. Madero. In fear of losing, Díaz made sure he would maintain his presidentship in a most immature way. He arrested Madero for no reason, and won the election as a result. Later in that same year, the revolution would officially begin. Insurrections started to occur in multiple northern Mexican states. Over the next decade, thousands would flee from the area to avoid the civil war that was occurring (UTEP). During the time of the revolution, a plethora of events occurred to show the divide between the people and the government. The issues were shown mainly by multiple civil battles. The first of which happened in 1911 in the Ciudad Juárez between Madero’s troops, who were under the direction of Francisco Villa and Pascual Orozco, against federal troops. The battle would go on for three days, and it was the first loss that Díaz encountered. After that battle Díaz resigned his position as president and fled to France to get away from the revolution. Madero would be elected as the new president of Mexico because of Díaz’s resignation. Right after his election, the U.S. sent troops to the border worried that the revolution would cross over into America. The next year, Orozco would break his alliance with Madero and start a rebellion against him. It had turned into former allies turning against each other. Another group compiled of Victoriano Huerta, Felix Díaz (nephew of Porfirio), and Bernardo Reyes would rebel against Madero. The three battled Madero...

...Zapata and Francisco “Pancho” Villa shared many things in their short lives, but more than anything they were men who saw and experienced the injustices in their homeland and gave their lives to change their country. Both men were revolutionaries, not politicians; in fact they both felt better leading men and women in battle than in fighting political battles. Both were born into small farming communities, whose inhabitants were mostly landless serfs working the lands of large haciendas where they worked as farm hands, functioned as slaves, and were officially treated as serfs. Zapata was from the southern part of Mexico while Villa´s home territory was the northern state of Chihuahua. Mexico is nearly as long as the US is wide and as diverse in topography, climate, natural resources and people. Both had some education and as teenagers, became the support for their families when their fathers died. Both men were drafted into military service but managed to complete only a portion of their terms. Zapata was a respected horse trainer and his commanding officer got him transferred to help train horses. Villa was arrested for stealing horses and forced to join the federal army. After several months he deserted because he murdered an officer and stole the man´s horse. For as many similarities the two were also very different, Pancho Villa was a brash showman, while Emiliano Zapata was quieter and spoke in a high voice. He was known as a man of few words while Villa, who did not drink...

Con el pasar de los annos, este tipo de genero musical se fue aislando en el olvido pero que persistieron en el norte del país en regiones como las de Tamaulipas y Nuevo León.
