{"product_id":"ritchie-valens-ritchie-valens-vinyl","title":"Ritchie Valens","description":"\u003cp\u003eIncludes 4 bonus tracks! During the course of his brief life, the legendary Ritchie Valens fused numerous musical genres together to form his own remarkable style. He left a lasting impact on rock \u0026amp; roll with his classic rocker \"\"La Bamba\"\" - a highenergy reworking of an old Mexican wedding song that Valens learned from his cousin. Ritchie put a rock \u0026amp; roll spin on this spirited folk tune, juicing it up with garage-rock riffing and a raw, enthusiastic solo. In essence, he invented Latino rock with this two-minute rock \u0026amp; roll classic. It's driving simplicity foreshadowed garage-rock, frat-rock and punk-rock. Ironically, \"\"La Bamba\"\" was the B-side of \"\"Donna\"\", a dedication to Valens' girlfriend that rose to number 2 on Billboard's singles chart. \"\"La Bamba\"\" also charted, but only climbed as high as number 22. This double-sided smash marks one of the greatest rock \u0026amp; roll singles of the Fifties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sonic Highway","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51567412281639,"sku":"8436542014649","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/0640\/5927\/files\/2084069-2729490.jpg?v=1783128823","url":"https:\/\/www.corkyscoffee.com\/products\/ritchie-valens-ritchie-valens-vinyl","provider":"Corkys Coffee","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
