The traditional Mexican 'mariachi' music is a festive and exuberant type of music that puts you in a good mood. One of those traditional themes is La Bamba which has been sung and recorded by several singers, such as Trini Lopez, and consequently became very famous. In the sixties and seventies you could hardly imagine a party or ball without this endlessly repeated 'Bamba', a round dance with opportunity to kiss the ladies.
