The fasting showman Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) I would have preferred a version without subtitles personally but there you go. Edited June 21, 2021 by The fasting showman text 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waddo Soqable Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 We did a minimalist cover of this decades ago with just me on double bass and a mate singing, wish we'd recorded it as he did a bang up job of the vocals, especially as he didn't actually speak French... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Riva Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 His original is a bit more laid back and bossa-ish. I love this more ‘pumped up’ version… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casapete Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Love this version of La Bamba. Los Lobos are a great band from east LA, and they apparently got a bit fed up of everyone thinking this song defined them. Formed in 1973 and still with the same 4 original members, they've made some great albums in both Spanish and English. I've seen them twice, and they did a great acoustic section of traditional Mexican material ( like La Bamba is of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song is real ear worm and a blast to play and sing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
