Mexican Hacienda
You can add a little bit of Mexico essence into your life no matter where you live. Here is our little corner of Mexico in our home in Maine.
For today, I thought it would be fun to learn a little something new…
Ranchera, a style of music that grew out of the Mexican revolution, highlights the beauty and simplicity of Mexican life for all citizens. Known for its drama, passion and patriotism, this style of music elicits images of Mexican ranch life. The most famous ranchera singer is inarguably Vicente Fernandez, who has become a national icon in Mexico in the same manner as Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley in the U.S.. This style of music was inspired by various styles of waltz, polka and bolero music. Over time adaptations of this style have given rise to mariachi bands… Throughout Mexico’s history, ranchera music has changed and adapted as the culture and values of the country evolved, giving the music a constant theme, but with an ever-changing identity and purpose.

So today, consider adding a little Ranchera music into your home - there are countless playlists on Pandora and Spotify. It’s such joyful music and perfect timing for all those Cinco de Mayo vibes!
