About the Ranchera

Traditional rancheras are about love, patriotism or nature. José Alfredo Jiménez (born January 9, 1926 in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, died November 23, 1973 in Mexico Love is any of a number of Emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong Affection. Patriotism is commonly defined as love of and/or devotion to one's country Nature, in the broadest sense is equivalent to the natural world, physical universe, material world or material universe. Rhythms can be in 3/4, 2/4 or 4/4, reflecting the tempo of, respectively, the waltz, the polka, and the bolero. Songs are usually in a major key, and consist of an instrumental introduction, verse and refrain, instrumental section repeating the verse, and another verse and refrain, with a tag ending. Instrumentation may include guitars, strings, trumpets, and/or accordions, depending on the type of ensemble being utilised. The guitar is a Musical instrument with ancient roots that is used in a wide variety of musical styles The violin is a bowed String instrument with four strings usually tuned in Perfect fifths It is the smallest and highest-pitched member The accordion is a portable box-shaped Musical instrument of the hand-held Bellows -driven free-reed aerophone family sometimes referred to as a Squeezebox

The normal musical pattern of rancheras is a/b/a/b. Rancheras usually begin with an instrumental introduction (a). The first lyrical portion then begins (b), with instrumental adornments interrupting the lines in between. The instruments then repeat the theme again, and then the lyrics may either be repeated or begin a new set of words. One also finds the form a/b/a/b/c/b used, in which the intro(a) is played, followed by the verse(b). This form is repeated, and then a refrain(c) is added, ending with the verse.

The most popular ranchera composers include Lucha Reyes, Cuco Sanchez, Felipe Valdez, Antonio Aguilar, as well as José Alfredo Jiménez, who composed many of the best-known rancheras, with compositions totaling more than 1000 songs, making him one of the most prolific songwriters in the history of western music. Lucha Reyes can be either one of two persons sharing the same name José del Refugio Sánchez Saldaña ( Altamira Tamaulipas, 3 May 1921 – Mexico City, 6 October 2000) better known José Alfredo Jiménez (born January 9, 1926 in Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato, died November 23, 1973 in Mexico Another closely related style of music is the corrido, which is often played by the same ensembles that regularly play rancheras. Corrido is also a type of song in Capoeira music. For the Italian commune see Corrido Italy. The corrido, however, is apt to be an epic story about heroes and villains whereas rancheras may not necessarily be heroic ballads and also vary more in terms of tempo. However, two notable exceptions to this rule are the songs, 'Corrido de Chihuahua' and the 'Corrido de Monterrey', which are considered rancheras in spite of their names. Their lyrics are concerned with patriotism for the states of Chihuahua and Nuevo León, respectively.

The word ranchera was derived from the word rancho because the songs originated on the ranches and in the countryside of rural Mexico. Rancheras that have been adapted by norteño bands or conjuntos from northern Mexico and the southwestern US, are sometimes called norteños, from the Spanish word for northern. Norteño (literally meaning "northern" in Spanish; also known as norteña or conjunto) is a genre of Mexican music.
