Folklore

South Texas is an area rich in oral traditions of legends and jokes, of music, foodways, beliefs, and customs. As the unrecorded traditions of a people, folklore is the heart and soul-the spirit-of a culture. Values, beliefs, ideology, and history are often revealed through folklore. Rituals and traditions-folklore-of a people give insight into value systems and the psychology or reason for these expressions.
