Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

Ok. I sing, I like to learn different styles of singing. The one I am interested in right now is Spanish Mariachi. Specifically kinds like this (sorry they aren't the best songs but they are what I know :P) Antonio Banderas-El Mariachi, EL Cascabel (I don't know who it's by) and the song in happy feet My Way (A Mi Manera) sung by Robin Williams...the style it's sung in. Especially the begining. I really like Cahro as well. In Thumbalina Charo sings a song called On The Road. The begining of the song. that style. Does anyone know any good bands (especially women singers) that I could look into that would help me learn to sing in this style. Thank you so much! (link)

The style you're referring to is known as 'ranchera', and is originally from the state of Jalisco. The undisputed king of ranchera is Vicente Fernandez, but there are several queens. Chavela Vargas, Maria de Lourdes, and Lucha Reyes are three of the classic ranchera singers, and a good place to start if you're curious.
