La Bamba - Son Veracruz
After looking at some sites I found several explanations for the origin of La Bamba, but all agree that it originated in the period in which the Port Veracruz (Gulf of Mexico) was plagued by pirates. This was the most important port of New Spain and all colonial trade from California to Central America depended on it.
Perhaps the explanation which I quote below is not the most accurate, but is the most bejeweled.

The origin of
bamba La Bamba was born on May 16, 1683 in the dunes of Malibran, exactly where was the property of the same name, owned by Mrs. Beatriz del Real, famous for its beauty and proclivity to fandangos at the time of the Colony.
authorship corresponds to a certain Lino whose name is not specified, but that ranks as the Guaruso.
The story referred to is that the Guaruso was a wanderer who earned his living as roistering and tenths. That's how it comes to Malibran, invited by some laborers who had met on the road. In
the farm was his joy for the magical revelry of the peons tiredness, nocturnal bustle in the huts and forced shot at parties and Guarapera milling. The
Guaruso felt at home among these people, especially since Rita, La China, a beautiful medellinera, with a pleasant demeanor and gallantry, he brought embullado.
One morning, when people made the lying in the reeds, by way of Veracruz, dusty and sweaty, Sabas arrived at the hacienda, the messenger of Dona Beatriz, who left the mule to the bottom of the talanquera ran to the chapel and shook the little bell peal. The sound
quitilán, quitilán! spread the countryside by convening the peons, who mocha and hoe in hand guardarraya out by the reeds to the hull of the hacienda, and Sabas question the cause of the uproar this only exclaim: "Pirate!"
Indeed, by the end of Anton Lizardo loomed a fleet of pirate ships, commanded by the fierce Lorencillo, which stealthily headed to the port of Veracruz.
Malanga, a mulatto burly entrepreneur, who was said he enjoyed the favor of Dona Beatriz, fearing that landed in the sand dunes of Malibran, organized the laborers, took out the old muskets and serene still life word and courageous attitude encouraged men to fight for the defense of the hacienda and women.
All night they worked at the ranch preparing harness, tying logs and hauling to the beach to save the small cannon with which auncia all the festivities of the patron saint of the shrine.
While all this was happening, the Guaruso, lying under the roof of the mill crushed strumming his carousing and singing the chant of:
"Quitilan, quitilan, / that ring bells Malibrán /, which are the pirates who will not ... / Qutilín, quitilín, / that bell rings Medellín / and rintintín sounds and sounds. "
dawned, Malanga, positioned on the highest dune to the beach scanning the sea in the distance, watching the sails of Lorencillo abejeles be straightened for Veracruz.
A rode his horse returned to the hacienda where Dona Beatriz, surrounded by women, waiting with impatience. For her it was better to flee, leaving the abandoned farm and seek shelter in the swamps of Medellín with women and children.
What will you do?, Said Beatriz Malanga, who are not sailors. To which the mulatto replied: "I'm no sailor, but this will be." He then started with his people toward the Playon.
Seeing this, Mrs. Beatriz ordered lock up children in the shrine, gathered the women and the prevailing voice said, "! Our men have gone to fight to the beach.'re going after them, will encourage them to see them win!".
But when it came to, say trench, and the palmar near the peons with Malanga came forward shouting for joy, as had happened in front Lorencillo to Playa de Hornos, to place their ships and begin the bombing of the port . The farm
all was rejoicing, celebrating and defending the alleged triumph.
Doña Beatriz and the mulatto Malanga arranged the fandango, and the Guaruso, and in the guarapeta Jaranera sang his song.
So I was like, According to Don Ramón García Río, who consulted a work of Francisco Avila Rivera, based on testimonies of the elders of the region, which in colonial times, a troubadour, El Guaruso, embroidered typical sing, who settled in the countryside as jarocha implementation required at dances and fandangos, subsequently winning the glory of being the queen of the Son Jarocho.

Carmen insisted that I had to put a video and not just the music, and rightly so. The dance is very striking traditionally includes a couple tie a bow with his feet. Besides the costume of Veracruz is the most beautiful in the country. The music plays the Conjunto Jarocho Medellin.
The other versions.
The popularity of La Bamba is patent to be dozens of performances in diverse genres, from the easy music to concert music. Here is a small selection.
One of the most popular is that of Ricardo Valenzuela "Ritchie Valens", who even held a Hollywood biopic. Ultimately its version does not seem of great quality (even better reinterpret Los Lobos), but it is very famous and it is a reference. La Bamba version of Rock 'n Roll.
Easy-Music versions abound, with marimbas, string orchestras, bands of metal. Very decaffeinated or removed from a caricature of Speedy Gonzalez. But Juan Garcia Esquivel deserves a mention, the father of the Space-Age Pop abuses the stereofonía and kitsch.
They also present two versions of jazz. Demonic version of Dave Brubeck, included in the Mexican music album Bravo! Brubeck and recorded in 67 live in Mexico City. The concert was divided into two discs, the first performs his hits and some standars and arrangements on the second Mexican and Latin songs. He is accompanied by Paul Desmond, Eugene Wright and Joe Morello and local musicians Benjamin "Chamin" Correa (guitar) and Salvador "Rabito" Agueros (congas).
the monster also Cal Tjader Latin jazz has its own version of La Bamba. With arrangements by Gary McFarland appends a touch of funk to this rich tropical jazz to stop dancing or wearing a bathing suit and tossing of the sea. To make matters worse accompanying João Donato on organ, Ray Barreto and orestes Vilato on percussion, Bobby Rodriguez on bass and Mike Abene on the keyboard.
version Philharmonic Society Concert directed by Eduardo Alvarez differs from other orchestrations to try to go beyond the mere adaptation of folk music to symphonic ensemble. The arrangers of the SF (Lifshitz and Toussaint mainly) had the creative freedom to experiment with new approaches to national music, far from official speeches. In general the result is brilliant and in some parts it was surprising.
Finally we conclude with a mixed version, very tied to Mexican roots, the version of Lila Downs, who in an interview said:
Quote: from ultrasónica.info
"La Bamba" is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I was wondering creating a link with our African ancestors, our 'third root' as we call it. Is also a war that took place in Veracruz, there is a verse that says' I'll be a sailor? Never will be. " In a way I wanted to take up this idea. "
