Rancheras

The "Rancheras" is traditional music from mexico. This genre of music is very well known throughout the whole world, because "Mariachis" evolved from this kind of music. Rancheras were super popular around the revolutionary years in Mexico, because throught them, the lower class people made fun or even insulted  the government and the aristocrats. Today this type of music is still used to insult political figures, and many of the rancheras singers have had legal problems. There are many great ranchera singers, but I think that the best is Vicente Fernandez. Although, he is very old, he still has a great voice and not even his son, Alejandro Fernandez can meet up to his standards.
