La Bamba is another song by Trad (in this case sometimes referred to as "Mexican Trad."). Los Lobos did a competant cover of it in the style of Richie Valens (appropriate since it was done for the movie La Bomba, a biography/fictional telling of Richie Valens' life).
On their discs you should expect a mix of styles - some pretty straight-up Mexican traditional music (very mariache in flavor), some radio friendly pop, and some good soul/blues influenced stuff. I favor their traditional and blues influenced stuff, but the traditional stuff is a bit of an acquired taste if you're not from an area where Mexican (or, I suppose, Spanish) music is played much.
