La Bamba- Khalil Fong (Ritchie Valens)
This song is called La Bamba sung by Khalil Fong. "La Bamba" is a Mexican folk song, originally from the state of Veracruz, best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the U.S. charts and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs. Valens' version of "La Bamba" is ranked number 345 on Rolling Stone magazine′s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and is the only song on the list not sung in English. In this video, the song is sung by an American-born Chinese singer named Khalil Fong. The melody of the song is relaxed and humourous. When I listened to this song the first word I instantly came up with was "humourous". I think the form of this song is a combination of jazz and bossa nova because the usage of intrumentation is based on a piano, a trumpet, a cello, guitars, and drums which are the basic instruments used in jazz music. However, the melody and the timbre tend to bo more like bossa nova style. I really liked the song because Khalil Fong uses a lot of singing skills to perform this song which is really pleasant to listen to.
La Bamba
Para bailar la bamba,
Para bailar la bamba,
Se necesita una poca de gracia.
Una poca de gracia para mi para ti.
Arriba y arriba
Y arriba y arriba, por ti sere,
Por ti sere.
Por ti sere.
Yo no soy marinero
Yo no soy marinero, soy capitan
Soy capitan, soy capitan
Bamba, bamba, bamba, bamba
Bamba, bamba
Bamba
Para bailar la bamba,
Para bailar la bamba,
Se necesita una poca de gracia.
Una poca de gracia para mi para ti.
Arriba, arriba.
