Where it comes from

Borrowed from Spanish ranchera (in Spanish the ending "a" usually is for feminine terms, like in this case, because originally is an adjective for música and/or canción, which are feminine nouns).

noun rancheras

A traditional Mexican song performed solo with a guitar. With very little fanfare, WZAA had become the first FM station in New York offering a format known as Mexican Regiona, which includes genres like ranchera, banda and norteña music.
A female ranch or rancho owner
