@Jane Martin I think talkative doesn't go far enough, though. I think the term implies the inclusion of humour.
Jane Martin (asker) Sep 29, 2020:
@ Matt Do you want to put this up as an answer.
Jane Martin (asker) Sep 29, 2020:
meaning 'talkative'? I could only find about eight hits for it on Google so it's possible that it is a typo. I was going along the lines of ranchero which is a kind of music but this is a possibility. Thank you.

Could be typo for "dicharacheros".

wits, jokers, etc.

I think it's a typo, for "dicharacheros". In which case I would use wits, jokers, or something similar.

or may be jocular gravedigger

Ten of the best graveyard scenes
John Mullan

Hamlet by William Shakespeare
A young man in black holds a skull in his hand ("Alas! Poor Yorick") and swaps banter about our post-mortem fate with a jocular gravedigger. One of the most famous scenes in literature was thought facetious and embarrassing before the 20th century and regularly cut from performances.
