Richie Valens – Now Playing (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Richie Valens was just 17 years old when he recorded the songs that would change American music forever, pulling the traditional Mexican folk song "La Bamba" into the rock and roll vernacular before his death in the February 1959 plane crash that also took Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper. His entire recording career spanned less than a year, yet the reverberations are still felt in every Latin rock artist who followed.
Ritchie Valens - Now Playing - Introducing Ritchie Valens: Now Playing - This tracklist features the iconic hit "La Bamba," which broke barriers and made Valens the first Mexican-American rock star to reach mainstream success, along with "Donna," which climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Both songs remain timeless classics. Pressed on red vinyl, Valens' groundbreaking work helped pave the way for future Latin artists and earned him a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
