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.
