Rancheras Mexico



The word ranchera was derived from the word rancho because the songs originated in the countrysides of rural Mexico. Rancheras that have been adapted by norteno bands are sometimes called norteƱos.
The ranchera is a genre of the traditional music of Mexico . Traditional rancheras are about love, patriotism or nature
Another closely related style of music is the corrido, which is often played by the same bands that regularly play rancheras. As contrasted to the corrido, however, rancheras are not necessarily heroic ballads and vary more in terms of tempo.
