Sinopsis(1)
Biografía del cantante, guitarrista y compositor de rock Ricardo Valenzuela, que alcanzó la fama a finales de los años 50 con el pseudónimo de Ritchie Valens. De origen humilde, Ricardo, comenzó a actuar muy pronto en fiestas y bailes. En 1958 firmó un contrato discográfico y su canción 'Come On, Let's Go' fue todo un éxito. Hizo una gira a lo largo y ancho de su país y apareció en numerosos programas de televisión. En 1959, cuando iniciaba una segunda gira, se estrelló el avión en el que viajaba, junto a otras estrellas del rock como Buddy Holly y Big Bopper. No había cumplido los dieciocho años. (Movistar+)

Who wouldn’t know the rock’n’roll hit “La Bamba?” However, who can say that they know the story of the singer who wrote it and sang it a few times on the stage? I admit, I was really curious. When you watch a good biopic, it’s an experience for the lifetime. I think La Bamba is about halfway there. It’s not a bad movie, but everything is portrayed in a somewhat understated way in order not to hurt anyone. The finale guarantees a powerful strike to the heart, where you realize that all it takes is one small incident, one stupid coincidence, to turn your whole world upside down. I have to say that in this respect I will definitely never forget La Bamba.

The story itself is interesting and very sad. If you look at how old Valens was when he died - just seventeen years old. A rising star... Buddy Holly's the same story, just a few years older. How would the music have sounded if their lives hadn't ended? Well, we definitely wouldn't have the "American Pie" song. Although it's a strong story, the execution felt rather lackluster to me.
