Edmonton opera scores "La Bamba" for Oilers playoff run!

In a city-wide celebration of the Edmonton Oilers’ thrilling journey into the playoffs, Edmonton Opera is excited to announce the release of our very own rendition of La Bamba, a song that has become a beloved anthem for Oilers fans everywhere.
Performers:
Robert Clark (tenor and anthem singer) and Helen Hassinger (soprano)
Lyrics:
Joel Ivany (artistic director, Edmonton Opera)

When you know why they play La Bamba it's actually a pretty nice tribute to one of their own.

I will say that knowing theyre opera singers, and seeing the video makes it a *little* less cringey. The first couple times i heard it was just on sports radio, and it was impossible to not picture Will Ferrell and Anna Gasteyer.
