Various Artists - La Bamba: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Good time rock 'n roll

For the most part, this is a great soundtrack. The only problem I have with this, is that the "La Bamba" on the CD is not the exact one played in the movie during the concert and also at the end of the movie where the credits are. The one in the movie is SLIGHTLY faster and upbeat. Would have loved to have that version on the CD. October 1, 2007

Song not on the soundtrack

I have the soundtrack and I know that there are a few songs that aren't on the soundtrack, one for instance, being the song that is played while donna and ritchie are driving "home from school". I can't really make out the lyrics to search the song so this is my next step. So if somebody could help me that would be great. August 20, 2007

Oldie but still goodie

I misplaced this old soundtrack and was able to purchase another on Amazon.com. This is a great soundtrack and the music is terrific. This is one soundtract you should add to your collection. I've purchased several cd's and products in general from Amazon and have never been disspointed. May 8, 2007

OLDE REVIEW.La Bamba

Yo no soy marinero.

This is a solid soundtrack. Los Lobos do a good job of duplicating Ritchie Valens' old songs (although there was no accordion on the original versions). The other cover songs, by Howard Huntsberry, Marshall Crenshaw and Brian Setzer, are also well done. Bo Diddley does a great remake of his classic "Who Do You Love". The last two songs by Los Lobos are not Ritchie Valens songs, but they are okay. If you liked the movie, you will probably like the soundtrack, too. September 27, 2004
