The professional career of Ritchie Valens lasted a period of eight months, during which time he recorded some very influential songs of the 1950s rock and roll era. His best known song, "La Bamba", is probably the very first Latin Rock song to become a hit, making Valens the father of the Spanish language rock and roll movement.

Ritchie Valens, who died in an airplane crash along with the Big Booper and Buddy Holly. There was a movie depicting the life and death of Ritchie. It was very sad because he was very young and very talented.
He "discovered" the song LaBamba when he took a trip to Mexico. He wrote the song Donna for his girlfriend.
