Such a promising career...  Such a tragedy....  
"I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!" had to be the final downfall for Lou.

"La Bamba" refers to a type of dance {#Bananasplit}

Sorry It's not mariachi, it's huapango, a Veracruz "son".

I love the mariachi epilogue on this version. It brings a lot more complexity and interest to an otherwise ho-hum song.

Massive and massively overplayed pop hit but if you put on the headphones and check out the instrumentation you'll respect it a little more... and yeah then the outro really takes it into the stratosphere.

You should have played Ritchie Valens original, although I understand your love of covers...

 Now Playing:
Los Lobos - La Bamba
Buddy Holly - Well All Right
 

Looks like Bill likes that running order, as it's repeating right now! {#Angel}

Please, play any other song performed by Los Lobos rather than this one.

De acuerdo.(I agree), pero esta version de Los Lobos incluyo un pasaje de la cancion original de Vera Cruz.(but this version did include a passage from the original folk version from Vera Cruz, Mexico. It's all good. (Esta bien Todo)/

So in Mexico, La Bamba is an old song from Veracruz, but in Peru, "bamba" is slang for something fake, like knock-off designer goods or pirated DVDs.

And there's your Latin American language lesson for the day!! {#Smile}

Lila Downs also does a good cover of the song, with extra lyrics about how they make mole in Oaxaca.

Agreed.  The first song I ever heard from Los Lobos was "La Bamba," and I just didn't like it at all. And then I heard "Will the Wolf Survive?" and after that, I came here and heard so much Los Lobos music that I smacked myself in the forehead for thinking they were just a one-hit wonder.  These guys are so amazing, I'm saving my money to buy all their CDs. (Starting with "Kiko and the Lavender Moon," and we'll see what happens next.)
 
Get "Just Another Band from LA" and it'll cost less

Los Lobos are mas bueno!  I love this band and they are highly underrated in my opinion.  They wrote one a recent song made popular by Robert Plant...."Angel Dance".

I hated Los Lobos, once.  Now, they're one of my favorite groups.  Thank you, RadioParadise! *hugs you*

Los Lobos - La Bamba
Ritchie Valens - Come On Let's Go
Buddy Holly - Well All Right

Okay, I admit it. I was expecting "Chantilly Lace." Not quite the day the music died, but an awful lot of it was prematurely snuffed out. RIP 52 years later.
