Cinelatino premieres its musically-inspired original production Soy De Rancho

Cinelatino has announced the exclusive U.S. television premiere of its musically-inspired original production, Soy De Rancho, featuring the Billboard Award-winning regional Mexican music star “El Komander” Alfredo Ríos, on Sunday, July 4, at 11pm ET /8pm PT.

Based on the artist’s 2014 hit corrido of the same name—which currently boasts over 117 million views on YouTube—the feature-length rom-com follows the story of Alfredo, an ambitious and powerful young Mexican rancher, played by Ríos himself.

When problems arise with his family businesses, Alfredo must quickly travel to the city’s capital, where he meets Fabiola (Estrella Solís), a beautiful but pretentious young woman whose family is drowning in debt. At the insistence of her mother (Claudia Vega), Fabiola attempts to seduce Alfredo, whom she perceives as a backwards and naïve country boy, in the hopes of taking his money to get her family out of financial straits. But Alfredo is savvier than Fabiola gives him credit for, and her plan goes awry when Alfredo discovers her true intentions. The ranchero decides to teach the alluring city-dweller a lesson she will never forget.

Directed by Alonso Ortíz and written by Edén Echeverría, Soy de Rancho features performances by Diana Golden (Como Dice el Dicho, Hasta Que el Dinero Nos Separe), Yair Sánchez, Miguel Estrada and Hugo Aceves, as well as songs from Mexican artists Banda La Resonante, Grupo Nueva Altura and other popular El Komander hits such as Como Tu, La Manda Incumplida, and Con la Pistola en la Mano.
