Ritchie Valens Brother Reveals The DARK Truth (UNSEEN FOOTAGE)

Ritchie Valens, born Richard Steven Valenzuela on May 13, 1941, in Pacoima, California, was a groundbreaking rock and roll musician and one of the first Hispanic artists to achieve mainstream success. He rose to fame with hits like "La Bamba," "Donna," and "Come On, Let's Go," showcasing his unique blend of rock, R&B, and traditional Mexican music. Valens' energetic performances and pioneering sound made him a beloved figure in the late 1950s music scene. Tragically, his promising career was cut short when he died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, a day later known as "The Day the Music Died." Despite his brief career, Ritchie Valens' legacy continues to influence and inspire musicians across genres.

I'm a Filipino guy but I'm a die-hard fan of Richie Valens and Los Lobos.
He was even younger than the Beatles when he started his career, what a great loss ! But I will forever cherish and honor his songs in my heart and soul.
I was only 15 years old, when I first heard La Bamba on the radio in 1987, and right away I fell in love with it. I'm very grateful and thankful to Los Lobos as well for reviving his songs and for re-introducing his music to the world back in the 80s. God bless Richie and Los Lobos. Viva Mexico and Viva Pilipinas ! 😢😊❤

Some of the information he was saying is faulse

[larrycamarillo]

Total misinformation! State the facts and leave your imagination out of it. He was a seventeen year old boy, who did not speak Spanish.

I had to stop watching the video because of the way you kept massacring his last name

[jasonlemmond]

Jesus why don’t you just say the same couple sentences over and over.

I have a question for you all, if they didnt lose their life in this crash, who do you think would have made it and continued in the 60s
