Las Jilguerillas were a Mexican ranchera duo formed in the mid-1950s by sisters Imelda and María Amparo Higuera.^[1] The ranchera duo are among Mexico's greatest and most enduring musical treasures.^[1]

They are considered icons in ranchera music,^[2] having multiple successful tours in both Mexico and the United States.^[3] They also appeared in a number of Mexican films.^[3]

History[]

Early years[]

Sisters Imelda and María Amparo Higuera started singing together as children and were discovered by another famous Mexican sibling duo, Dueto América, in the 1950s.^[1] They released their first official single, Chaparrita Consentida, on 5 July 1955.^[3] Almost immediately, they became a huge success, selling records both in their country and among the Hispanic population in the United States.^[4]

Later years[]

They have been accompanied by a stellar cast of Mexico's musicians since their initial recordings, which were arranged and produced by Gilberto Parra, and later by Cornelio Reyna. After the death of Imelda on 20 July 2004, María Amparo continued to perform until she was joined by Mercedes Castro in 2007.^[3][4]

The group has won a litany of awards throughout their career, including the Eréndira State Prize of the Arts in 2017.^[3] In 2018, the municipality of Numarán erected a commemorative plaque at their childhood home in Cañada de Ramírez at a ceremony attended by María Amparo.^[2]
