Mariachi continued
ok I looked into Vicente Fernandez, i really liked him (Marioneta, Para Siempre, Sublime Mujer, These are perfect but i couldn't really find too many upbeat songs- now El Chofer is too polka sounding for my taste, so not that) now i liked Lucha Reyes, but with Chavela Vargas i also couldn't find any upbeat. Like that antonio banderas song el mariachi. you know especially that long belty note that they do sometimes at the begining of songs...like Carmen Linares and Carlos Saura...they are more flamenco...but do you know some singers who sing with that upbeat tempo or the same ones you gave me but some upbeat songs? thank you :)

Well, unfortunately I'm no expert on traditional Mexican music (there are people who get doctorates in the subject), so I can't give you too much guidance as far as individual songs. As far as the history goes, flamenco singing is much older than ranchero. Flamenco is native to southern Spain, and has many similarities to north African and Middle Eastern styles of singing (southern Spain was ruled by north African Muslims for 700 years). Ranchera is a mix of several styles, including flamenco and German/Czech polkas from the Rio Grande region. If you're not up for polkas then there may not be much upbeat stuff to your taste.
Check out a group called Ojos de Brujo if you like flamenco: flamenco vocals over hip-hop beats. Pretty tasty.
