Although rancheras are part of Mexican the authot of the best rancheras is José Alfredo Jimenez. Chela Vargas, from Costarrica and Mexico and Jimenez was his best friend. When he died she came to his coffin yelling and people wanted to take her away as it was to be a family occation. His widow stopped them saying tha she was family. I love many rancheras. El rey was beloved by my husband

@LindaOHio Now that I´m old I´m amazed at how much I learnt when I was a child from people who did not know how to read or write. School learning is not the only way to acquire knowledge and sometimes it is very much over rated.

Here is a link for Wikipedia that @GoAskAlice provided. From there on, you can go to youtube. It is Mexican folk music.

@LadyDuck When I was a girl, maids went to the cinema in their day off and the only movies they could watch were the Mexican movies as most did not know how to read and other movies only came with subtitles. That was golden moment for Mexican movies and they were all romantic with a "charro" who sang rancheras to his love. Then the maids sang the songs while they worked and I learned all those songs. I love them.
