La Bamba" (pronounced [la ˈβamba]) is a Mexican folk song, originally from the state of Veracruz, also known as "La Bomba". [1] The song is best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens , a Top 40 hit on the U.S. charts.
The meaning of the name of the alleged dance "la bamba" needs some interpretation of underlying meaning, as is often the case in folk songs. When you dance "la bamba", this implies you have "una pierna/cintura bamba", or "a loose leg/waist" (and it could go further into a naughtier interpretation, but let's leave it aside for lack of evidence).
Los Lobos covered the song in 1987 for the soundtrack of the 1987 Ritchie Valens biographical movie La Bamba starring Lou Diamond Phillips. Their version reached number 18 in the United Kingdom [4] and number 21 in the U.S. [2] It was also a track on Cars: The Video Game.
