El estilo ranchero de Alberto Vázquez

Corrido is a Mexican narrative ballad tradition that tells real or imagined stories about heroes, outlaws, battles, tragedies, and contemporary events. It is strophic, usually built from octosyllabic lines organized into quatrains with assonant rhyme, and features a declamatory vocal delivery…

Ranchera (canción ranchera) is a traditional Mexican song genre characterized by passionate, emotive vocals; memorable, singable melodies; and direct, heartfelt lyrics about love, heartbreak, drinking, patriotism, rural life, and personal honor.

Bolero is both a Spanish dance-music form from the late 18th century and, later, a Cuban song style from the late 19th century.
