The La Bamba Pod
The La Bamba Pod starts with Ritchie Valens' 1958 recording of La Bamba and goes behind the music — hundreds of years and thousands of miles behind the music. Among other things, we examine: Why is the song called La Bamba? Could the song have its origins in a 1683 pirate attack? And just how did this folk song journey from the countryside of Veracruz, Mexico to the pantheon of rock anthems? Along the way, the series dives deep into son jarocho, the traditional Mexican musical style that's experiencing a global revival. To get in touch, email labambapod@gmail.com.
