Ranchera



         


The ranchera is a Mexican music style closely associated with the Mexican mariachi groups which evolved in Jalisco in the post-revolutionary period.

Drawing on rural traditional folklore, the ranchera was conceived as a symbol of a new national consciousness in reaction to the aristocratic tastes of the era.

Probably the greatest living exponent of the ranchera is the Mexican singer-songwriter Juan Gabriel.
