‘La Bamba’ — Ritchie Valens
The Los Lobos put on a stunning performance of the Mexican traditional song “La Bamba,” which they wrote and performed with their own arrangements. In 1987, the film Ritchie Valens, in which Lou Diamond Phillips portrayed the character of Ritchie Valens, included this song as a soundtrack track. At the time of this writing, this is without a doubt the most frequently performed arrangement of the song everywhere in the globe. Despite the fact that the 1958 version is totally different from the current version, it is included in both the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list and the Ranker ranking of the greatest songs of all time. “La Bamba” is generally considered as the very first recording ever made at the dawn of the rock & roll era, and it was released in 1957 as a result of widespread public perception.
