Los Rancheros de Plata are a cumbia ranchera group from Mulchén (BÃo-BÃo, Chile) formed in 2005 by four core membersâGuillermo MarÃn, Ricardo Gómez, Rodrigo Mendoza, and Oliver San MartÃnâwho set up a full live band around accordion, guitar, keyboards, and drums and began circulating their music across the southâcentral dance circuit. After a self-released first disc in 2006 (Sin Frontera), the group cut their breakthrough studio production Signo Libra in 2008 with Tekyla Records, whose title track quickly became their calling card at festivals, municipal stages, and parties. The following year they documented their stage show with a first live DVD, beginning a long relationship with the Zona Ranchera camp; the concert take of âEl Signo Libra (En Vivo)â has since become a staple of the Chilean cumbia ranchera genre. Through the 2010s the catalog grew around live and anthology releases that kept signature numbersââHasta que llegue el alba,â âCobarde,â âTe amo y te amaré,â and âLa chiquilla de Mulchénââin rotation, with streaming editions such as Princesita MÃa (2017) and Mejores Que Nunca (2018) bringing the repertoire onto streaming platforms. The band refreshed their greatest-hits set in the streaming era with DJ-friendly bundles like âFiesta Mix Los Rancheros de Plataâ (2020) and later compilations, while 2024's Historias de un Romance Ranchero and fresh uploads of âSigno Libraâ kept the classic material in front of new listeners. Subsequent releases included âMadre MÃaâ and Amor de primavera in 2025âplus ongoing live dates across Chile's south and central regions.
