Published by Homco/Crinion (A0.1457519). La Bamba has no direct English translation, but the dance that is referred to is presumably connected with the Spanish verb bambolear - which means to sway, shake or wobble. It is a lively dance, for sure. A traditional version of this dance is often performed at weddings. This String Trio arrangement has the 2 violins in close harmony on the melody - like violins in a Mariachi Ensemble. The cello maintains the familiar walking ostinato bass line throughout. Ole!
