The final song in this set of Latin American folk songs for male voices is a rather grim narrative ballad about the exploits and death of a soldier, Macario Romero. As is typical of the Corrido (a narrative, ballad form), the song has many verses climaxing with the five shots that end Romero's life. This is a chillingly effective setting of a poignant tale.
