Irma Consuelo Cielo Serrano Castro (born 9 December 1933), nicknamed "La Tigresa de la Canción Ranchera" (The Tigress of Ranchera Music) or simply "La Tigresa" (The Tigress), is a Mexican singer-songwriter, actress, and politician.Due to her exotic beauty, hourglass figure, and way of being controversial, Serrano managed to attract the attention of directors and producers who consequently began to call her to act in different films; henceforth she created a successful acting career.As a singer, Serrano is famous for her "tantalizing," "untamed spitfire" voice in the ranchera and corrido genres. Four of her hit songs reached Audiomusica Magazine's list of top songs in Mexico: "Miel amarga" reached number 5 in 1966, "Tierra mala" reached number 4 in 1966, "El puente roto" reached number 4 in 1966, and "La Martina" reached number 5 in 1967.In her later years, she was the center of multiple scandals and controversies. She has appeared in celebrity gossip magazines and television shows because of her political career as senator of her home state of Chiapas from 1994 to 1997.
