Origins of Mexican Vaquero (Cowboy) Culture

[@richardazhocar676]

The Mexican vaquero is the evolved cultural descendant of the original Spanish vaquero. The first cowboys in the world. The Gringos learned to be cowboys from the Mexican vaquero. True history 👌.

[@henry-dn3ks]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/narGlaKhbdl7kLc here another version of the origen of the vaquero or cowboy.

[@earth8865]

Don’t ever confuse white country western culture with Vequero cowboying culture. The development of our culture came from European folk music, our country western dancing are forms of European Walt’s style and more. The Stetson hat was the mark of our style, so was the cowboy boot, which looked nothing like Spaniard boots. Our style of food, way of life, our core values, our clothes have no inspo from Spaniards. You can have your culture without trying to erase ours, thanks as I speak for all Europeans that reside in Texas, Kansas, Tennessee, south and north Dakota, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana. Don’t forget that Aurochs roamed all of Europe, and Asia and were domesticated by Europeans. The Spanish and Europeans brought them to the states and to Mexico. European ranchers hired people to drive the cattle as that was a poor man’s job. Both vaqueros and white country western cultures are of their own origins, and have nothing to do with each other. Plus, cowboying isn’t the entire element of country western culture.

@@earth8865you do know Texas belonged to Mexico right? The white anglos came to Texas,Mexico as pilgrims. They learned the vaquero culture from Mexicans norteños and stoled the state of Texas along with its culture and just translated the Spanish word vaquero to English. You people say it came from Spain or your Anglo ancestors but, no where in Europe do you see a vaquero or “cowboy” culture? Remember, anglos came to Texas, Mexico as pilgrims who didn’t know how to farm. Of course the u.s ain’t going to admit this in their history books because all they feed you people is nothing but propaganda bullshit to make u feel proud to be an “American” which they also got that tittle from Latin America and ran away with it also. 80% u.s citizens have not even the slightest clue that America is a Spanish name.

The vaqueros originated not only in Andalucia, but also in Extremadura and Salamanca. The charos are still seen in the Salamanca´s traditional clothing, this is where the Mexican hat comes from.

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

Yeah. Another difference is that charros could be of any type of ranching, such a chicken ranching, etc. The word vaquero is only for the cattle industry.

[@Warrior_By_birth]

@@TheTokyoDrifterfrom listening to charreria history, charros were mostly the hacendados (Rich Spanish) Hacienda land owners. Their attire was only allowed to be used by Spanish people at the beginning. Also, even though, no one says it, to me an hacienda was close to a plantation. When workers (Indians and mestizo) missed work, the capataz would go look for them and would whip them back to work. That was one of the reasons why Indians and mestizo revolted on Independencia.

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

​@@Warrior_By_birthThis is fake. I dont think you understand what Mestizos are. The Mestizos were the children of the Spaniards. Not all Mexicans are rap_e babies. Most of us can trace our ancestors back to our Spanish forefathers who settled in Mexico. My grandfather was a Mestizo who was the son of a Spanish Criollo and Purepecha Native (a married couple). They were cattle-ranchers in Michoacán. If you are a r-ape baby, that's your problem. Don't stigmatize all other Mexicans as being r_ape babies like your family.

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

​@@Warrior_By_birth you also have a misunderstanding of the Mexican War of Independence. Mexico's independence movement was not started by Indians or Mestizos. The ones who organized the movement were Spanish Criollos. Can you name one, just one, Native leader in the Mexican War of Independence? No. You can't.

There was no cattle in the Americas before Spaniards arrived. Using logic and reasoning, how could Natives be the first vaqueros if they didn't have cattle? Also, "vaquero" is a Spanish word. The Aztecs didn't speak Spanish. Now ask yourself whether your reasoning makes any sense.

This is what read from Mexican history. Yes the cowboy culture was brought from Spain BUT, only the Hacendados (Spanish Hacienda rich land owners) were allowed to wear the Spanish horse attire and ride on horses. Also, because Spaniards were afraid of a mestizo/native revolt, native/indians were not allowed to ride on horses and was PUNISHED to death of caught. However, because of the need to do the work, in 1500s Indians/mestizos were allowed but with a permit (like a drivers license). Because they were not allowed to wear Hacendado attire or Spanish (horse) saddle, mestizos and native started creating their own attire which became what is now used in Cowboy culture. The horse saddle with a horse, leather pants, leather coat, etc. Yes, you can say there was a rider license before there was a drivers license - according to Mexican history.

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

Not exactly. Certain Natives had horse-riding rights from the beginning. And Mestizos always had the right to ride horses. The Mestizos were the children of the Spaniards. They didn't prevent their own children from riding horses.

[@cherrera1010]

You are wrong, the tlaxcaltecans had that privilage too.

[@Warrior_By_birth]

@@cherrera1010 where did you read this? I’m not saying they did it across all states and with no flexibility but, that it was the law. The need for labor was so high, specially in northern states where cattle ranching was done and where the law was never enforced. If a native work in a ranch, like they did in the north, the law was over looked or ignored. Remember that natives were still protected under the “Ley de Indias” and even enforcing this law would get people in trouble. States where Haciendas and hacendados reigned, the law was typically enforced since the natives worked on agricultural fields and that’s where you see a wide use of burros/donkeys instead of horses (look at historical photos).

The Spanish Caribbean which Jamaica (Santiago ) was a part of 1494-1655 had vaqueros long before Mexico. Columbus comes to the Caribbean in 1492 with Andalusian livestock. Later in Hispaniola he starts gold mines and cattle ranching. Juan de vaquero 1500 was a rancher in today's Dominican Republic. Seville La Nueva founded by Juan de Esquival in 1509 was a hato cattle ranch in Jamaica. Later Francisco de Garay Govenor of Spanish Jamaica brings livestock and vaqueros from Andalusia to start open range ranching. He is the same Garay died in Mexico after sailing from his ranches in Jamaica. Hernan Cortes had a encomiemda 1511 in Cuba cattle and goes to Mexico in 1519 with 200 Cubans some vaqueros in that group. We talking the same Cortes started cattle ranching in Mexico was in Cuba years before doing the samething. The Tainos and Caribes are the first indigenous people of the Americas to fight the Spanish. They also become the first mestizos after Spanish men took native wives. First genocide of native Americans is the Caribbean. Spanish West Indies becomes early shipping point of hides, meat, tallow to Central and South America. A West Indian vaquero culture develops with Indians, Spanish, Mestizo and African people. Gold was not found so ranching took over in the islands. To pass over the Spanish history in the Caribbean and its contribution to vaquero and ranching only making Mexico place of origin. This shows North, Central and South America are rewriting history of ranching in the Americas.

It's very much an American cultural thing. Was born in the U.S. Many Mexicans, in Mexico looked down on it--many still do. There's been an increase in acceptance in some corners though. There were some young people born in Mexico who were brought by their parents illegally to the U.S. when they were very young. They grew up in American culture complete with hip hop and dress styles in American inner cities. Then some were caught in trouble with the law, and deported to Mexico. They are today a subculture in some Mexican cities. However American pop culture becomes popular in Mexico just like in most countries from Europe to Asia and the Middle East, so some things like rap and hip hop also made it to Mexico from a American TV and radio. But the cholo subculture was born entirely in the U.S. I find it interesting that Japanese picked up on this American subculture which itself is not really fully accepted in the U.S., let alone Mexico.

[@derionmukhztalfa7668]

No one here in México calls them "vaquero". For me vaquero is that Hollywood american gunslinger, whereas Ranchero is the actual term associated with Ranchera music which sings about the lifestyle in the Rancho. Other than that the information presented is true. So New Spain had a feudal administration divided in Haciendas, and their respective Hacendados or landlord of vast land, so being a Ranchero had been always being associated with status, since only Hacendados had cattle. Since the second half of XX century, having a cattle stock lost its importance due to industrialization, nontheless Ranchero culture became a national heritage element, in part consequence of the so called "Cine de oro mexicano" (Golden years of mexican cinema) where Rancheros were depicted as revolutionary heroes and a standard of masculinity and righteousness, back in the first first half of XX century after the mexican revolution. Ranchera music spans from José Alfredo Jiménez to Joan Sebastian, and even famous singers as Juan Gabriel are related to the movement even though he might not resemble to the traditional image of a Ranchero. Of course Vicente Fernández makes it to the list of artist, and he might be seen as the remnants of what being a Ranchero used to be. Ranchero music made in northern México is just called Norteña (literally referencing its northern procedence), this due to the North being quite distinct to the rest of the country but at the same time managing to be an almost homogeneus region. By the way this is the stereotypical mexican music in the US other than mariachi, think about Los tigres del norte, Ramón Ayala and Christian Nodal.

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

That's because you don't understand what you're talking about. A "ranchero" is a word for "rancher." That could be applied to any type of ranching, not just cattle-ranching. The word "vaquero" is specifically for people involved in the cattle industry.

I greatly appreciate your information and I don't doubt its accuracy. However facts speak for themselves. Italians invented pizza but Italian americans improved on it and made it better. Spain is where the Vaquero began but Americans of several cultures improved and invented the techniques that define what the modern cowboy is famous for. The roping, steer wrestling, bull riding and long long range cattle driving was perfected in the United States. The men who innovated the modern cowboy were the low paid cattle hands and the original Oklahoma and Texas ranchers and cowhands. These men were hard core unglamorous and of poverty. They were multicultural. This is what upsets me about people who want to revision history especially american history. The Americas were settled by many different people. They lived together, they intermarried and they morphed culturally into something NEW I think Europeans are ethnic purists, even to the point of being racist and can't give credit where credit is do. And cant accept the multiculturalism that makes the US the greatest country in the world You dont see bull riding and steer wrestling in Spain.

[@hermeticchonk371]

All Latin American countries have cowboys. Chileans have the Huaso, Argentinians have the Gaucho, Mexicans have the Charro, etc. Along with the rancher culture, daggers and knives also are part of the tradition. Machetes, Corvos, grapehooks and other agricultural tools that were used in conjunction with the poncho to block and parry attacks with one hand and strike with the other hand.

The original word Cowboy was for African Americans... hence the word "boy" ...great video

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

This video was about the original vaqueros/cowboys. It's not about English-speaking people who came much later.

I believe the vaquero culture came from the American cowboy.

We influenced it but didn’t invent it. The origin is Spain.

Man you have brainwashed with John Wayne movies and saloon ho women, lol😅

[@1988vikable]

yes correct!! American immigrants moving into Mexican state of texas were taught by the Mexicans the vaquero culture teaching them rodeo and the vaquero equipment and gear. The American immigrants adopted the lifestyle then Americans were bringing slavery and Mexico told the American immigrants to leave as slavery was illegal in Mexico. American immigrants refused to leave and concocted a revolt with the USA to take and steal Texas from Mexico.

[@JaimeCosme-x9y]

The vaquero is Mexican

[@TheTokyoDrifter]

The word vaquero is a Spanish word. The Aztecs didn't speak Spanish.

[@9IXIXIX9]

@@TheTokyoDrifterin Spain they would be called toreros 😆

@@9IXIXIX9 False. Toreros are bullfighters. If you don't know what you're talking about, it's better to listen than run your mouth.
