Ok so I decided to do this before Heidi took my ideas again. "La Bamba" is a folk song whose origins can be traced to the Mexican state of Veracruz over 300 years ago. It is best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the the U.S. charts and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs. The youtube clip that is on my blog is from a 1987 movie called La Bamba, staring Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens.
