Sorry for being very lazy but since many asked, I made public ALL my old videos because some had missed them. Some of them were made when I was very young and so are of horrible quality, others were made when I was going through weird phases in life so forgive me my friends.
I will still attempt to upload, but as you know life happens. This channel will focus mainly on Mexican Catholic and Cristero War songs I find, apologies if I don't include English translations sometimes, I am unable to accurately translate the lyrics at times. However, if I find an absolute gem of an older hymn or song unrelated to the topic of the channel I will try to upload it.
Thank you for watching my videos all these years, below is the playlist with all my old videos; flaws and all.
For my English speaking audience, I apologize there are no English subtitles for this video but I hope to figure out a way for YouTube subtitles to be set up in the future.
Context for the song:
This corrido (similar to a ballad) is a overview of the Battle of San Julian which occurred in Jalisco on March 15, 1927 between Cristero forces and the Federal Army. The Cristeros were initially led by General Victoriano “El Catorce” Ramírez and José Reyes Vega, more famously ‘Father Vega’, for the defense of the village of San Julian against the 78th Cavalry Regiment of the Federal Army led by General Espiridion Rodríguez. However, the Federal forces outnumbered the Cristeros and they were suffering heavy casualties. The federal troops entered the town and looted homes, raped women, and martyred some Cristeros. The Cristeros were nearly overwhelmed until a reinforcements arrived led by General Miguel Hernandez. The forces under General Rodriguez had seen them approach but mistakenly identified them as federal troops before being attacked by Gen. Hernandez’s men and soon retreating.
The Battle of San Julian was one of the most stunning victories for the Cristeros during the First Cristiada (1927-1929) and was the most disastrous defeat the Mexican government under President Plutarco Elías Calles would suffer. This led the government to begin viewing the Cristeros as an extremely severe threat to their power and would begin a time of retaliation against the Catholic population in Mexico; most notably in San Julian itself, where on March 26th, 1927 federal troops would re-enter the village and later arrest Father Julian Alvarez. Saint Julian (canonized in 2000 by Pope St. John Paul II) would later be martyred in retaliation for the previous defeat the federal army suffered roughly a week before.
The Cristero forces under General Victoriano Ramírez would once again clash with the 78th Cavalry Regiment during the Battle of Cuquío on March 27th, 1927 which would unfortunately be a defeat but would see Enrique Gorostieta join the Cristero cause soon after the battle.
