Ritchie Valens was a groundbreaking Mexican-American rock ‘n’ roll star in the late 1950s. Known for hits like “La Bamba” and “Donna,” he was one of the first Chicano musicians to achieve mainstream success. Tragically, Valens’ life was cut short at 17 in a 1959 plane crash, alongside Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper—a day remembered as “The Day the Music Died.” Despite his brief career, Valens remains an iconic figure in rock history and Latin music.
