Ranch Comedy and Reply Couplets. The Imprint of Oral Culture
Abstract
The traditional and oral culture of the glosa en décima, and its musical version of the huapango arribeño or the valona, appeared reinterpreted in the beginnings of Mexican sound cinema and, with greater emphasis, in the ranch comedy, its musical and nationalist genre. The article presents the folkloric and specular roots of this oral and musical tradition and takes a look at several of its appearances in the classic era of this film genre.
