Good morning, afternoon, evening. Thank you for all the wonderful content! I don’t know if you take suggestions this way, but I would like to make a suggestion for you to watch Mafumafu’s Tokyo dome online live. I won’t get into the details but it is a live performance with Japanese songs (including originals and covers) and it is really impressive, I would love to see your reaction to it !! It doesn’t have to be the full 2 hour concert, I’d already be more than happy to see you react to even one song :D.
I have heard some of your reactions from Mexican music, and unlike many other reaction videos you enjoy the music and share the JOY, which is great to spread the music, this song is the rock and roll version of an anonymous 300 hundred year old song. I really recommend you watch (translate) this video for the full history of the base song (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cwxX1Nf1fyQ.html. Also as a tid bit. When The plain fell killing this trio of artists, This incident became known as “The Day The Music Died,” after Don McLean coined it in his 1971 song, “American Pie.” (research this song as it portrays a time in history) so sad that it triggered Charles Fox to write about how "American pie" song deep & meaningful, "Killing Me Softly with His Song" with lyrics by Norman Gimbel. The lyrics were written in collaboration with Lori Lieberman after she was inspired by a Don McLean performance in late 1971. Denied writing credit by Fox and Gimbel, Lieberman released her version of the song in 1972, but it did not chart. The song has been covered by many other artists. -- finally La bamba as originally sung by mariachi ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z4O3c2j3Xpw.html
Hello, the actor who prortrayed as Richie Valens is a well-known actor in Hollywood, His name is Lou Diamond Philip - he is half Filipino, half American. Some of his movies are Young guns 1 and 2, Stand and Deliver, La Bamba to name a few, some Broadway hits because he can actually sing too.........
The audio and the rest of Ritchie Valens' (Valenzuala) music for the movie was done by Los Lobos a Chicano/Mexican-American band. The movie was directed by Luis Valdez, who started El Teatro Campisino (The Farmworker's Theater), working in the Farm Worker's Movement (Cesar Chavez and Delores Huerta). Valdez directed the movies Zoot Suit and the Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (two of my favorite movies). Lou Diamond Phillips plays Valens. The Day the Music Died (referenced in American Pie) was February 3 1959 when Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash. Valens was 17, just 8 months into his career. You should listen to his first hit, Donna. Valens was born in Los Angeles. Los Lobos is band out of East Los Angeles. They started in the 70s and are still performing. East LA is important to the Chicano movement of the 60s and 70s. At that time it was the second largest Spanish-speaking city--Mexico City was the largest. Sorry to get carried away. I was in school and university in the 70s and 80s. I was secretary of my junior college's LA Raza Unida. I later majored in Mexican-American studies at the University of Arizona. So many memories are tied up with Los Lobos, Valdez, etc.
Ritchie Valens died on February 3rd, 1959 in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa after a concert. Known as 'The Day the Music Died' the crash also took the lives of Buddy Holly, "The Big Bopper", and the pilot. (Waylon Jennings was also in that concert and lost his seat on the plane in a coin toss). Ritchie was only 17 years old and was just starting to make it big - his first album hadn't even been released yet. Because it was 1959 all you will be able to find are audio recordings. Music video and MTV didn't exist yet. Unless you can find a television appearance or interview, radio recordings will be the closest to live available. Tragic...and amazing that his music and legend have survived this long.
I watched this movie when I was younger and it left such an impression on me. My mum and dad told me about that plane crash which took Buddy Holly too.
*NO* that is not Ritchie Valens singing in this clip, it is *LOS LOBOS* who did the music to the movie. *Ritchie Valens* was born in California and like *SELENA* he did not know Spanish. He was a rocker of the 50s, he the *Big Bopper* and *Buddy Holly* were lost so young in a plane crash. I'm very proud to say Buddy Holly is from my area of Lubbock, Texas. *FYI: *"American Pie"* by *Don McLean* is about the loss of those artists
Great reaction! You have to watch this movie, it's really good and tells his story. That is Richie Valens on the song track, Lou Diamond Phillips plays him in the movie. Would love to know if you do watch it and what you think. Another singer who passed away too young, who was murdered is Selena Quintanilla. This was a fantastic movie that also tells her story.
Yyyeeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!! 💜💜💜 I have loved Ritchie since I saw the movie when I was a child!!! His story is incredible, too bad it was too short...thank you Luke!!!!
The Big Bopper who sang Chantilly Lace which you should listen to, Buddy Holly who sang many songs you should listen to, and Ritchie Valens all died in the plane crash in Clear Lake Iowa. Ritchie also sang the song Donna which was very popular about his love for his girlfriend at the time who had to break up with him because of her parents, definitely listen to that one.
The band Los Lobos re did the songs in the movie La Bamba so its not Ritchie Valens in the vid, the guy playing Ritchie is Lou Diamond Phillips or LDP.
Richard Steven Valenzuela (May 13, 1941 - February 3, 1959.. his stage name Ritchie Valens, was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. A rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement, Valens died in a plane crash just eight months into his music career.[4] Valens had several hits, most notably "La Bamba", which he had adapted from a Mexican folk song. Valens transformed the song into one with a rock rhythm and beat, and it became a hit in 1958,[5][6] making Valens a pioneer of the Spanish-speaking rock and roll movement. He also had an American number-two hit with "Donna". On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as "The Day the Music Died", Valens died in a plane crash in Iowa, an accident that also claimed the lives of fellow musicians Buddy Holly and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as pilot Roger Peterson. Valens was 17 years old at the time of his death. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, The Native American Music Awards Hall of Fame, The California Hall of Fame, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame…👍🏻😁🏴
I always connect to this song because I live near the crash site. They performed at the Surf Ballroom before they died. I frequent the Surf still. So many greats have preformed there because they want to perform on such an iconic stage. Every time I am there I can feel the magic in the air. It's such a unique place.
I didn't see that comming hahaha... Bro, "La Bamba" is a classic... and such a vibe haha...and well known in Latam. 🎵 "Para bailar la bamba, para bailar la bamba se necesita una poca de gracia... Yo no soy marinero, yo no soy marinero, soy capitán, soy capitán"💃💃💃 Please react to more Argentinian music, I think you will like bands like "Rata Blanca" or "Catupecu Machu".😊🤗
I heard he was born and raised in California. Did not speak Spanish. Went to Mexico with his brother and heard this song. He wanted to learn this and bring it to the US
I will add a little to what others have said that it was in 1959 that he died at the tender age of only 17 years old along with Buddy Holly who was only in his early twenties and "the Big Bopper" the "old man" at age 28! I was nine years old when " the night that the music died." From the song "The night the music died."You should check out the old movie "La Bamba." Ritchie's last name was shortened from Valenzuela.He also wrote and recorded a love song for his girlfriend named Donna, by the same title. When you see the movie, you will understand what became of the two prior to his death. Understandably, his family OR Donna never got over their loss.I think Donna might still be alive, so that's how I know! Cheers!!
La Bamba is mandatory in a good dancing party still now! Ricardo Valenzuela (Rickie Valens) is a classic! If you like this vibe you have to watch 50's-60's music, like James Brown, Chubby Checker (the king of the twist), Jerry Lee Lewis... Oh! Seriously? Never watched Elvis? What about Santana, Joe Cocker, Jimmy Hendrix, Janis Joplin? Tom Jones? Gooood music I miss a lot ❤❤❤
Straight OG and Brilliant! And love to hear it when I’m in Mexico singing loud in my native tongue! Its a song about Hard drinking Partying Mexican Sailors and Great times!!
Man, I loved that movie so much. I'd always watch it when it came on tv. Absolutely love the song too, of course. It was on the radio all the time in the 80s, and I listened to it always. Weird Al has a pardoy of course, Lasanga.
that is Richie singing the person playing him is Lou Diamond Phillips! Richie was 17 when he passed away in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper!
Day 99 of recommending the Beyblade openings. There are the Japanese ones and the English ones. The English version has one opening for a generation, and that for the 1st and 2nd generation. The 3rd gen has one op for one season. But the Japanese version has multiple ops for a season in any gen. You should definitely check both versions out. I made playlists on my channel, so you don't need to search, cause in those compilations are a few off and not in the correct order. Thanks for checking out!
Day 29 of requesting a reaction to the following openings: Chivalry of a Failed Knight op Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress op Kiznaiver op You could make a multiple op reaction for this. Thank you!
Now that you have heared this 50's rock version, you should hear the original "La Bamba" from Veracruz, Mexico. Is a traditional "Son Huapango" style song from the 18th century Just search for "la bamba son jarocho" and you should find dozens of versions
Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and J.P., Richardson, who was better known as the big bopper, were all killed in a plane crash when they were leaving after a concert in clear lake, Iowa. Originally Waylon Jennings, the famous country singer, was one of the crickets, which was Buddy Holly’s band, gave up his seat on the plane to Ritchie Valens, because Richie wasn’t feeling well.
Bamba is a style of folklore music and dance from the state of Veracruz in Mexico. The main instrument is the harp , as opposed to a guitar. The costumes are beautiful and the music upbeat and fun. The best part is that the dancing couples bring a long piece of rope or a sash onto the dance floor and proceed to tie it into a bow using their feet.
Hi there. Old enough here to remember La Bamba back in the day, around the time another very late 80s-early 90s (tbh, the 80s didn't die until 1993) musical craze, Lambada (not by the same guy, but you'd be surprised how many people would put them in the same bag).
If you watch the movie and when ritchie goes to Tijuana there is a band playing the original version of la Jamba and that is Los labos. The tall guy in Los labos is the 1 that sings la bamba for the movie
Wow,! This one surprised me that you had yet to hear La Bamba! So glad you reacted to this clip from the movie. I loved his music even though it was before my time and Lou Diamond Phillips portrays Richie Valens (Valenzuela) so good! Thank you Luke! I think it’s Los Lobos maybe who sings in the movie, but I love Richie Valens’ voice! 🥹😢👏🫰🏻It’s not horrror movies like you enjoy, but hope you get around to watching it some time. He was known to carry his guitar everywhere too. He definitely was ahead of his time. Underdog who made it big and tragedy. If you know Bye Bye Miss American Pie, then it refers to the tragedy too. Please listen to his other well known song Donna. 💜💜💜
Ritchie Valens was really born Ricardo Valenzuela! And his manager changed it to Valens to appeal to the regular American Public! His mother was a single mother who picked crops in the valley of California! His dad was never around like mine! He was Chicano like me which is Mexican American. And Lou Diamond Phillips played him in the Movie La Bamba and was not from Mexican decent like when J Lo played Selena! His guitar and first band was called Richie and his Flying Guitar! And you can why! There is the original black and white which was really him and then there was that shot from the movie which Lou Diamond Phillips really sang in! Then there is the Best Version from Los Lobos! His Brother was Bob who lived a Wild life with prominent 1% Biker Clubs! He never had a license his whole life and the police would hardly ever being him to jail! Bob was a free spirit and died about 10 years ago! Ritchie lost his life at the age of 17 with a flip of a coin of who would fly or drive to the next gig! He had a dream his whole life of dying in a plane! But since he was sick they flipped a coin a he won and wasn’t that thrilled other than he could get to bed quicker and on to the next gig! He wore a rattlesnake charm from a healer in Mexico Bob brought him too and once it snapped off in a fight between brothers he was cured because he never took it off! Like E-40 said who is a rapper from Vallejo he was a Timer/Tymer! Which means and OG and Legendary Big Time Old Timer! Sadly it his Music that got him to that status that is timeless and forever! So he is an anomoly because him and guys like Buddy Holly will live forever and are grandfathered in as an OG that died so young but are forever and Old School! Not to embarras anyone but I see so many of these first Time reactions to the Legend and Spirit of America from Americans and Africans and Europeans like how can’t they and don’t know? Like 100’s of clips of couples and single people doing this with a lot of them with 80 to 100k likes and watched and an blown away! It actually makes an OF tough guy who didn’t cry for 25 years straight cry of happiness from like a kid who just opened their first present Christmas morning and then crying for pain Ive had and relate too from these people and how sad it is mist are gone and so many people never experienced this with all the technology weve had for awhile now! It just goes to show people are using the internet for junk and filth mostly and when you see this its complete happiness and joy and gets me grooving again like when you and a girl were at a dance and times were so much more social and Fun as you can finally see now for yourself and how much you missed out on that was so Raw and Organic!!
Hahaha brother i'm singer this song at whisky river 7 years ago, in beamount Texas,, usa. I can believe,i make over 500 or more american people ,dacing and singer whit me, is amazing i feel like rock star, only because one Friends asking to me if u i'm know the song and the d.j is his friend,, i don't know,, and after few minutos call me to up to stage and start the song on karaoke, and i'm srart singer , it's good because after that i have free drinks for everbuddy,, yeees it's the 😂😂😂 mexican power 😂😂😂😂
yep, the day the music died. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper all died in that fateful plane crash. A horrible tragedy for the music industry all because they were in a rush to get to their next concert venue and wouldn't listen to those saying don't, the weather is too bad. It's too risky.
The real song is an Original Mexican Folk song from many moons ago about Mexican sailors! If you ever see a charm at the end of a gold chain it’s a Mexican Sailor Fisherman thing and their life! Like an Italian Horn it means that much to the people! Sorry but I want every one to know and I’ll put you on to it!! Coming from a real Chicano and Latino!!
Funny story….. back when this movie came out in the late 80s, the song hit the radio waves again. I was shopping for a dress, in a very high end department store. All of a sudden music flipped on, and this song started. I squealed and started singing it and dancing in the mirror and around the racks! My husband was mortified and actually left the store! ( I eventually divorced the stick in the mud). I still get excited to hear this song.
The audio that Lou Diamond Philips is lip syncing to isn't Richie. They used a band named Los Lobos by request from Richie's family. The lead singer is David Hidalgo. The loss of Richie at such a young age was a musical tragedy. 😢
if u get the chance check out the live performance of Elvis singing Burning Love, Hound Dog, Bridge over trouble waters! Elvis loved and was inspired by black gossip church music!
No it never sounded close to me but both versions were great. Los Lobos re-did Ritchie's music for the movie, presumably to sound more like Lou Diamond Philips and because there is no recording of most of Ritchie's songs that sound like a clean, live voice. He had a live album but that still wouldn't sound right spliced into the movie, and everything else had that 50s studio slapback echo.
Fun Facts: Los Lobos is the one who sang this version of La Bamba for the movie. I like this version better than Ritchie Valens La Bamba. Both good versions thou
Idk if You know, weird Al did a Star Wars episode 1 Parody to this. FunFact: Don McLean even admitting to almost singing his lyrics during his own live performances because his children played the song so often.
Kinda sucks that the Latin videos don't do to well but you should check our some more modern stuff so you see how the music has evolved Christian Nodal Adios Amor is a really good modern song
