American rock group Los Lobos recorded a version of the song for the 1987 biopic La Bamba inspired by Valens's life. The Los Lobos version is closely modeled on Valens's version, other than a short coda which finds the band performing an acoustic interpretation of "La Bamba" with traditional instrumentation and rhythms intended to show its roots in the folk music of Veracruz.
