LOS LOBOS, 1987

How could you not love the end of Los Lobos' remake of La Bamba?  Taking the Ritchie Valens' classic and calling it their own, Los Lobos kicks ass all over the place with this song.  My knowledge of Mexican culture is pretty much limited to Robert Rodriguez movies and watching La Parka wrestle, but I know what I like, and that traditional guitar jamming like Mariachis on speed hits your head like a pinata and doesn't relent until every piece of candy is spilled to the ground.
