Friday, September 6, 2024: Ritchie Valens - La Bamba


 

Wait, so the lyrics aren't "Ba Da Ba Da Ba La Bamba"?"

Apparently not.  Here you go:

Para bailar La Bamba
Para bailar La Bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia
Pa' mí, pa' ti, ay arriba, ay arriba
Y 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, bam

Fun Fact: "La Bamba" has its origin in the state of Veracruz, Mexico. The oldest recorded version known is that of Alvaro Hernández Ortiz, who recorded the song with the name of "El Jarocho". His recording was released by Victor Records in Mexico in 1938 or 1939, and was reissued on a 1997 compilation by Yazoo Records, The Secret Museum of Mankind Vol. 4.

What can be better than The Beatles? 

How about two artists, masters of their craft, who bring their own unique interpretations to this classic Fab Four track.
