This work strives to document the evolution of the estilo bravío by examining the work of Lucha villa, La Embajadora de la la Canción Bravía (the Ambassador of the Canción Bravía). Villa's trademark style, limpio sexy (clean sexy) expanded the genre of the canción ranchera as a site for the creation and re-creation of Mexican feminist praxis. Furthermore, the markers of her trademark limpio sexy estilo bravío to interpret the canción ranchera created a feminist tradition out of misogynistic lyrics.
