La Bamba depicts the 17-year-old Mexican-American’s rocket rise to fame, from field laborer to rock star with a string of hit singles and a date with destiny. Fueled by Valens’ hit songs performed by the Grammy®-winning Los Lobos as well as classic ’50s tunes, La Bamba recreates the thrilling early days of rock and pays homage to the enduring legacy of a remarkable talent whose music crossed all borders.
