You can just feel the malaise dripping off this Ranchero. Which means, naturally, that I am in love with it. Any more Carter era and the bed would be full of peanuts and Carters little liver pills.
Funny how Spanish imperialism is somehow more pure than the US. Ranchero accordian = German, from silver miners. Cornish silver miners brought the Mexican food "pastes" (pasties). Maybe colonialism is good after all?
In Spanish and Latin American usage, a ranchero is a person associated with a rancho — either as the owner of the ranch or as a worker on it. In Mexican and Tex-Mex cultural contexts, it also refers to a style of traditional rural music (música ranchera) characterized by passionate vocals, mariachi or norteño instrumentation, and themes of love, loss, and country life. The term carries a sense of rural identity and working-class pride in Mexican culture, sometimes romanticized and sometimes used plainly as an occupational descriptor.
The ranchero played the same corrido three times at the party, and nobody asked him to stop.
