The canonical ranchera structure: simple three-or-four-chord harmonic-progression (I-IV-V or I-vi-IV-V), 3/4 or 4/4 meter, sentimental lyrics about rural-homeland, lost-love, drinking-and-sorrow, mother-figure. The 1936-onward Mexican-golden-age-cinema established ranchera as the national-cinematic-musical-export, recorded by ranchera-cantante singers (typically male-tenor or female-mezzo) with characteristic grito-mexicano high-falsetto-cry interjection.
