[TheCRIEStal]

Richie Valens is so good looking.



[DaronWoodward]

I love the classic mexican Mariachi section at the end with LDF just sitting the boys in the band and listening to the original version of the music.

[threeamax]

Its about dancing the dance "la bamba"  and u need some grace to do it

[AcelinoNINO]

Eita solo de guitarra da porra!

Muito bom!

[aajz00901]

The song has got an awesome feel to it.. classics made to be remembered forever.. I will learn spanish some day..

[lebarosky]

Guitar solo in this song is out of this world. Lead singer is awesome.

[SuperShealee]

what's it say in English?

[MusicLover8048]

@SuperShealee Who gives a fuck.

[Aurix04]

@SuperShealee

I'm gonna be a star. Cause stars don't fall out of the sky, do they?

[SilentStalkerX]

Undeniably one of the very few Spanish songs I legitimately enjoy. One of my childhood songs

[1960xiaobaobei]

Muchas Gracias

[hackman999lol]

a mi me gusta la bamba

[meetthefocker2]

This was a number one hit here in Britain in1986, and was used for many years on a vauxhall car ad on T.V.

[JOHNANDYOK0]

Man. Love this song and the movie was great..Its the reason i picked up playing the guitar...Sad he died so young..

[RondonPedro]

the spanish is gorgeous, for your great affinity the poems

[JAGUARJAIR]

LA BAMBA Y RITCHIE VALENZ TENIAN SANGRE LATINA ASI KE GRINGOS NO ME VENGAN A DECIR KE ES SU MUSICA POR KE SI RITCHIE TIENE SANGRE LATINA Y LA BAMBA ES VERACRUZANA CREO KE HABLOPOR TODOS ESTO ES LATINO A WEBO

[straightsky]

Im from Colombia i love this song xD. Spanish is a Gorgeous Language

[BFMVfreak4072262]

everyone's favorite Spanish song(:

[danaseilhan]

Ritchie *did* inspire Latinos to play rock. Just 'cause it's not on top 40 radio doesn't mean it's not out there. The trouble is your average broke kid on the street doesn't have time to go looking around for stuff that's not on top 40 radio. Where the hell do you think Los Lobos got their inspiration, though? Chinese fortune cookie? Come on now.

[Soulless37]

A Los Lobos az egyetlen a világon aki remekül képviseli Ritchie Valens emlékeit. Náluk jobb nem is lehet erre . De még ők sem érhetnek nyomukba annak az embernek aki megalkotta a La Bamba-át!! De ennek ellenér mély hódolatom nekik!!

[joeypolanski]

Esai Morales was great in that film. The fuck-up older brother.  Great performance.

[hjk4000]

che anno era ? maronn . ( tradotto , sarebbe un esclamazione di meraviglia nominando la MADONNA )

che emozioni .

peccato che il tempo passa e io non sono immortale per il momento

[fjghi100]

Belíssima canção me faz recordar meus tempos de criança, quando essa música fez muito sucesso e até hoje continua fazendo.

[IXTheBrotherHoodXI]

is this a movie?

[bladesmark1]

@IXTheBrotherHoodXI These guys (Los Lobos) sang all the songs from the movie "Labamba"

[kyebean]

What is this beanspeak?

[normbates30]

I love the guitar riff at the end of the song very awesome !

[Pheloci11]

koop die cd haha

[latinheataintbeat911]

My favorite song as kid

[DutchKalhoun]

Does anybody know what the name of that tune was that played at the end of the movie when Richie's mom and Bob discovered Richie was killed?

[papabugs71]

@DutchKalhoun Sleepwalk by Santo & Johnny.

[DutchKalhoun]

Than-Q, Papabugs71

[guitarmagic95]

@DutchKalhoun its called sleepwalk

[musicman257]

such a great movie couldnt got a beter person to play ritchie

[PacoSmokesComedyShow]

Paco love that movie, that song, Ritchie, Los Lobos, Lou Diamond Phillips. It's all the best.

[Sergiolaranjas]

[GabrielStefan]

@Sergiolaranjas it's called "La Bamba"

[emnotnuub]

half pinoy actor :P

[joyviyer]

Absolutely love the acoustic outro on this song!

[venustianot]

LA BAMBA FUE UNA CANCION QUE RICHIE ESCUCHO EN TIJUANA Y LE GUSTO

[ARMADAWKASTAV]

[McCawPenisJab]

[JessikahAznBabyy]

[rnrol100]

@JessikahAznBabyy al least you have in mind a good happy song and not whats happening now......

[SuperPyropuncher]

Lou Diamond Phillip played on Gorge Lopez

[slydawg221]

i've always loved this song! back when i was a kid i didn't realize it was in a foreign language i just thought they were english words i hadn't learned yet. lol

[mailkoff]

@slydawg221

lmao

[4711rock]

Unlike Buddy Holly's music which has withstood being covered, Los Lobos play the first part as good as Ritchie Valens himself and then smoothly move over to traditional Mexican mariachi style with some beautiful accordion playing. Los Lobos soy capitan!

[Slash917591]

Il n'y a que la musique qui est bien, le film quelle nullité lol !

[brunodelabomba]

is the video cut in with an actual movie? if it is i'd like too see that movie.

[LoveAj03]

@brunodelabomba the movie is La Bamba =] duh lol

[rolfharrisable]

[alfredo1020ful]

[therealraybaby]

[13Laconic]

[papiiuenvy186]

i love the guitar in the end. makes me want to dance

[112greeny]

my family grew up and went to scholl with these guys

[kkk1468]

懷念......................

[Monica1C3]

I like the way this ends. When a band gets playing, you can't stop them! :-D They just keep on going... ;-)

[DaveWollenberg]

I think that Lou Diamond Phillips had too low a speakin' voice, in comparison to Ritchie Valens' higher pitched singin' voice. Billboard's 675th #1 hit of the rock era. God bless! Dios te bendiga! Hugs to ya, for postin' it!

[Iammexichilango]

ADORO ESTA PINCHE CHINGONERIA DE CANCION

[LAKOPUNJABI]

[hotmail942]

[goplaydisc]

[SLAYER0429]

i can not understand a word yet it puts a huge smile on my face

[CubeLuda]

Anyone have an idea what movie the start was from?

[ChevyAdrian1]

@CubeLuda

wow really stupid fuck...

[CubeLuda]

@ChevyAdrian1

Fuck you.

[ChevyAdrian1]

@CubeLuda

nah i'm sorry i don't do favors... especially over the internet

[Slipknotter8]

@CubeLuda The movie is called "La Bamba". :)

[hanj31]

What's brian setzer doing on this video?

[ladyi7609]

@hanj31 He played Eddie Cochran in the movie (see video of him covering "Summertime Blues"). BTW (not responding to you here), I'm an American of Mexican descent whose grandparents came from central Mexico and I listen to all kinds of pop and rock music. Just check my list of "favorites" to see! If only Richie Valens had been more of an influence on young Latino musicians -- they'd have capitalized on the '60s Merseybeat sound and been more of a presence in powerpop and New Wave.

[TeamShadySweden]

I Was Born Listening to Music Like this, If peoples Dont dance around my grave to music like this I will Haunt them :D

[PeteAndJakee]

@TeamShadySweden lol me 2 if they dont play La Bamba at my funeral i'd fucking haunt them too

[smokyotis66]

La Bamba

[coulturista]

como se llama la pelicula???

[mitlonx7]

esta cancion es para la raza mexicana quieran o no

[safenders]

If Ritchie would have lived he would have inspired many Mexicans to pick up a guitar and play rock instead of the rap shit that has become so popular with the hispanic youth.

[beto841621]

@safenders That is a lie. I'm mexican-american and I don't hate rap but I dont listen to it either. But it is kind of true.

[safenders]

@beto841621 LOL, So is it true or is it a lie?

[beto841621]

@safenders I dont know.

[sesabio]

@safenders im mexican and i happen to know how to play guitar and enjoy old skool and modern rap.youths will like what they like.ALL sorts of music is/are exposed everywhere(like here)and theyll listen to it if they like it.its a new era,todays generation need something to call their own just like every generation.anyways how do we know that Ritchie himself wouldve loved rap?

[safenders]

@sesabio I'm Mexican too. I also play guitar. I was raised by a White Mother and Mexican Father. Had I grown up like most Mexicans I would have not been exposed to much of the good music I have come to enjoy. Too many of my Mexicans friends only liked rap when I first met them. They also tried to emulate black youth. When they come to my house over time they see that there is much more out there and they change what they listen to. Richie was around a short time imagine what could have been.

[DrNo0Entertainment1]

@safenders That is so true thats kinda of why I am so different from my other family members

[GoodyBob]

@safenders You've got that right...I'll take the music of Carlos Santana, Los Lobos, etc. over hateful macho rap anyday. Also, take a look at the group Del Castillo with great Spanish guitar mixed w/rock. Adios.

[DjCootABanG]

@safenders I agree my cuz in Mexico is in a badass Ska band they are good too!

[yung21king]

@safenders music now days has no soul or heart in it most of it is materilistic meaningless shit

this comeing from a yung person

[TheFatal05]

@safenders rap is the worst thing to ever come into earth, fucking hate it.

[themanitasdeplomo]

@safenders Who's Ritchie?

[nathan33445]

@themanitasdeplomo Ritchie Valens....a legend in the spanish culture i would say , made this song famous watch la bamba the movie

[bladesmark1]

@safenders Rap music would've been around anyway regardless if Ritchie would've been alive or not,don't get me wrong i love Ritchie's music & he's inspired many folk such as Santana,the Beatles etc but the world doesn't stop for nobody.50's rock n roll was just a phase just like any other genre and time moves on,the good thing about music is that it keeps the memories of people like Ritchie alive.

[safenders]

@bladesmark1 I think you missed the point. I didn't say rap wouldn't have been around. I simply said, had he lived, many Mexicans may have been inspired to make Rock music instead of Rap.

[ashudhar2002]

:)

[Misanthropy187]

Wow the Xxlukinhas the number one top rated comment totally butchered and fuked up a chicano classic.. if u dont know spanish please dont try and speak it or in ur terms type it.. RIP Ricardo Valenzuela. AKA Ritchie Valens the good die young homie

[Chon12490]

i love how they throw a little bit of mariachi style there at the end....brings back memories when i played mariachi.

[SFTJ100]

Para bailar la bamba, Para bailar la bamba se necesito una poca de gracia, una poca de gracia pa' mí pa' ti Ay arriba y arriba Ay arriba y arriba por ti seré, por ti seré, por ti seré Yo no soy marinero, yo no soy marinero, soy capitán, soy capitán, soy capitán. Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba Para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba se necesito una poca de gracia, una poca de gracia pa' mí pa' ti. Ay arriba y arriba. Parar bailar la amba, para bailar la amba.

[sonidocatatonico]

temazo de tres pares de cojones

[cherryberry160]

"Real stars never fall out of the sky do they?" I this case, they do, Ritchie.

Rest in peace and have fun with Buddy Holly.

[Granola0Girl]

What's that song playing in the very beginning before La Bamba starts?

[EmKey1453]

I love spanish language and people.. Greats from Turkey..

[Iammexichilango]

NO MA

K BUENA ROLA

ESTA BN POCA MADRE

[DaveWollenberg]

Billboard's #11 song of '87. Were Lou Diamond Phillips' vocals even TRIED? Los Lobos might not have had to step in and do the song for him, right, gang? They hit #1 pop, #4 AC, in Billboard. God bless, and, Happy new year! Dios te bendiga, tambien!

[TheBeatlesLXIX]

[RottenMango1]

@emoman7777 he dies I think in real life in a plane accident and most likely in the movie, I'm not 100% sure since I haven't seen the movie, but I do know he died.

[thefidlerontheroof]

@RottenMango1 you are correct, mate :)

[Martinofredwall100]

It sounds like "Jeg river, jeg river. Åh jeg river, jeg river, på tisselem, på tisselem, på tisselem." Which is Danish and means "I play, I play. Oh I play, I play, with my dick, with my dick, with my dick." (not precisely translated word for word)

Kinda funny?
