"La Bamba" (pronounced [la ˈβamba]) is a Mexican #folkSong, originally from the state of #Veracruz. The song is best known from a 1958 adaptation by #RitchieValens, a #top40 hit on the U.S. charts. Valens's version is ranked number 345 on #RollingStone magazine's list of "The #500GreatestSongsOfAllTime" and is the only song on the list not written or sung in English. The oldest recorded version known is that of Álvaro Hernández Ortiz.

“I am a man upon the land,
I am a selkie in the sea,
And when I’m far and far frae land
My hame is in the Sule Skerry”—The Great Selkie of Sule Skerry (traditional)

And up come he to her bed fit,
And a grumlie guest I’m sure was he,
Saying, “Here am I, thy bairnie’s faither
Although I may not comely be.”—The Great Selkie of Sule Skerry (traditional)

As there seems to have been another uptick in participation here, a quick summary #introduction (fuller one is pinned). I'm a UK-based (Londoner now living on #isleofwight) folklorist. Started off interested in #folksong, spread to wider interest in #folk #folklore.
Did an MA, liked it, so did a PhD on Contemporary Belief in #Ghosts - https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/handle/2299/7184.
Currently on the Council of the Folklore Society, Associate Editor of its journal Folklore, & on the editorial board of #FolkMusic Journal. Until end of year I'm Research Fellow on #FolkloreWithoutBorders research network on EDI in British folkloristics.
I've written on #ghostlore, folklore about #rats, #cannibalism at sea, tongue twisters, popular representation of folkloristics. Increasingly working on folklore's history. Shiny research profile here: https://researchprofiles.herts.ac.uk/en/persons/paul-cowdell

Slightly updated #introduction: I'm UK-based (a Londoner, now living on #isleofwight)
I did a first degree in #Classics, then worked/didn't work as an actor for a while, during which time I got really interested in #folk #folksong.
Started to do #fieldwork, realised I needed to think harder about it so did an MA in #folklore. Liked it. A lot.
Did a PhD on Contemporary Belief in #Ghosts - https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/handle/2299/7184.
Currently on the Council of the Folklore Society, Associate Editor of its journal Folklore, & on the editorial board of #FolkMusic Journal.
I've written on #ghostlore, folklore about #rats, #cannibalism at sea, tongue twisters (inter alia), and (increasingly) folklore's history. Was doing this through folkloresque representation in #folkhorror, crime novels & (most recently) #DrWho, then finally just got on with doing it as historical research.
