Los Lobos – La Bamba
I think that “La Bamba” is really one of the most famous soundtracks of the world. Actually in 1987 it had already happened, to recall a song of thirty years before. In fact, in January the great success of Reet Petite by Jackie Wilson, originally released in 1957, exploded. And it happens again in June, with the release of the movie “La Bamba”. The movie told the story of Ritchie Valens’ life, “the Mexican Elvis”. wAnd he found his greatest success with the original version of this song in late 50’s. But maybe this happened not by chance. Music industry rediscovered the top success of the 50’s in the moment when the decline of the 80s became real. It wouldn’t have been possible, for example, in the years of greatest creativity, between 1982 and 1985, and it was about to become a habit in 1987!
