The life of rock and roll legend Ritchie Valens bursts across the screen in this celebrated, music-filled movie that features a star making performance by Lou Diamond Phillips. LA BAMBA depicts the 17-year-old's rocket rise to fame, from field labourer to rock star with a string of hit singles and a date with destiny. Fuelled by Valens' hit songs, performed by Grammy winners Los Lobos, and a soundtrack of classic 50's tunes, LA BAMBA recreates the thrilling early days of rock and pays homage to the legacy of a remarkable talent whose music crossed all borders.
