La Bamba: Ritchie Valens Performs La Bamba (Lou Diamond Phillips) HD Scene

[@KevinCantWait08]

This movie definitely put Lou Diamond Phillips on the map. What a great actor and an amazing singer, too! He really captured that role.

[@charlieguthrie4707]

He’s not singing here though - nor in the film. Tis Los lobos

[@moliverna]

he did not sing this. This was Los lobos that recorced the music for this movie.

[@rosariocardona7037]

I am Texas born, but live in a border town where the Mexican culture is prevalent. I remember when this movie came out. A mexican-American rocker from the 50's, played by a Phillipino born actor, singing a song that is originally from a native area of the state of Veracruz, Mexico. Thank you for this scene, it transported me to my teen yrs.

[@Duquedecastro]

What does a Filipino have to do with anything Mexican?? They aren’t related

[@Duquedecastro]

Less than 3% of filipinos have any Spanish blood connection, majority are Austronesian

To this day, every time I go to Spanish party, they always play La Bamba. Every time I hear that song, I smile knowing that Richie’s music Legacy is still alive today.

[@juanquispetaboada3138]

[@kristaramirez4111]

Yes, he did

[@Pangolin-Mandolin]

Ditto! It was this movie that got me interested into music other than what my parents played......suffice to say, I must have been one of the kids brought up on Queen, Meatloaf, Bowie, etc, that was listening to music from a decade or two before them. I remember getting so excited finding one or two 50's mixed cassettes at the car boot sales!....the trepidation and excitement for what might have been on the cassettes I bought for 50p was such a genuine thrill thinking about on the car ride home! ( I was born in 87 if that gives better context). But, yeah, it was this film, that I just happened upon one night whilst physically switching the buttons to try and find something good to watch, that began my own, first and independent interest (and desire to discover more) in music for the first time. Had I never watched this film, I may have never heard Elliott Smith! Such an important film and memory from my childhood....

I'm born in Colorado and grew up with great influence from Mexico. All the culture, the people, the festivities, and of course the music are really fundamental to me. Ritchie Valens and his cover of La Bamba is one of those good examples, though it used to be a traditional Mexican song way back before Valens and Lou Diamond Philips. I remember watching the movie and it was so good, honestly. I know I really want to visit Mexico one of these days, because I never been there before and of how much I was raised with its influence. Thank you, Lou Diamond Philips, for your amazing cover.

[@ellebelle4094]

Fun fact. Richie spoke no Spanish. He had to be coached for this song. He really was Mexican AMERICAN. He was a great loss.

Por fin una cancion nos representaba y no podiamos estar mas felices de ello!! Esta cancion aunque antigua es super importante y representativa de nuestra cultura en este pais. No es culpa de los gringos ellos simplemente saben lo que les llega, pero esta cancion traspaso barreras que hasta el dia de hoy se sienten. Viva Ritchie Valens!!!!

"La Bamba" was not a new song even at Valens' time. It was a traditional song, slow and romantic. Valens' genius idea was an uptempo version which fit well with the rock'n'roll just becoming popular.

[@andrecristiano802]

Verdade. Era como aqui no Brasil a música Atirei o Pau no Gato e Ciranda Cirandinha ( as chamadas músicas de roda ).

[@angemaidment5640]

That seems to be the uncertainty behind how successful it would be. Valens apparently didn’t speak the language, and there was concern how it would be received. It’s a shame the soundtrack had Los Lobos version, instead of Valens.
