La Panchita

María de los Ángeles Muñoz Rodríguez, known by her stage name La Panchita, was a Mexican singer.

She took her stage name from the song of the same name by Joaquín Pardavé. She began her career singing rancheras, but after a tour of South America, she brought new songs to her repertoire, such as the Peruvian waltz "Nube gris". In the 1940s and 1950s, she recorded many songs for the Peerless and RCA Víctor labels, with the Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlán.

She married the Ecuadorian ventriloquist Paco Miller. She died on 8 November 2014 in Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico.
