La Bamba by Original Soundtrack (Cassette,1987, Warner)

Album Notes
"After two critically acclaimed but only moderately selling albums, los Lobos were hired to record songs for the film biography of Hispanic '50s rocker Ritchie Valens, resulting in this soundtrack album, which, in addition to eight los Lobos recordings, features tracks by Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and others. Los Lobos' remake of the title song topped the charts, as did this album, which went on to sell two million copies. The result has been something of a career dilemma for the band, who went back to being a critically acclaimed, modest seller afterward."

Las Canciones son Fantasticos y los clasicos! Great music soundtrack and surely a good way to get to know the music. HOwever, please note that the performers are Los Lobos and not Richie Valens. Still a great collection of songs. Go out and purchase the Richtie Valens collection. They are awesome!

Enjoy!~~~~~Read full review...
