Chanteur Rock
'n' Roll US né Ricardo Esteban Valenzuela Reyes, le 13 Mai 1941, à Pacoima
(Californie). Ritchie Valens a débuté en 1958, obtenant de suite le succès avec "Come On Let's Go" et surtout "Donna". En 1959, il obtenait un troisième hit avec "La Bamba". Il meurt le 3 Février 1959 à 18 ans dans l'accident d'avion qui coûta la vie à
Buddy Holly et à Big
Bopper. D'après Waylon Jennings, ils auraient tout deux joué aux dés la dernière place disponible dans l'avion. Ritchie l'ayant gagné, lui aurait dit: "Gee, c'est la première fois que je gagne dans ma
vie !".
The first
Hispanic rock star, Ritchie Valens will forever be known as one of the two
musicians (along with the Big
Bopper) who perished with
Buddy Holly in 1959, when their private
plane crashed in the midst of a Midwest tour. At the time, Valens had only
recently established himself as one of the most promising young talents in rock
& roll, just barely missing the top of the charts with "Donna," a number two
hit, and pioneering a blend of rock and Latin music with the single's almost
equally popular flip side, "La Bamba." Like many rock stars who died prematurely,
it's difficult to assess his unrealized potential; he was only 17 at the time of
his death, and had just barely begun to make records. Nevertheless, Valens'
music has endured for decades.
Ricardo Esteban Valenzuela Reyes was raised in a Mexican-American household in
the San Fernando Valley. He played several instruments as a child and eventually
devoted most of his focus to the guitar, learning a right-hand version of the
guitar despite his own left-handedness. Valens' musical influences were diverse,
running the gamut from
Little Richard and rockabilly to traditional Mexican genres like mariachi,
and his talent on the guitar earned him a spot in a local band, the Silhouettes,
when he was 16. Valens eventually became the band's frontman. While playing at a
local movie theater in 1958, he was discovered by producer Bob Keane, who signed
Valens to his Del-Fi label and convinced him to shorten his surname to "Valens,"
claiming the abbreviated version had broader appeal than "Valenzuela." Under
Keane's wing, Valens entered a Los Angeles recording studio in July and emerged
with "Come on Let's Go," which climbed to number 42 on the national charts.
By the end of 1958, Valens had quit high school in order to focus on his career,
which had skyrocketed after his second single, "Donna," climbed to number two.
Also enjoying a good amount of popularity was the single's innovative flip side,
"La Bamba," a rocked-up Mexican folk song performed entirely in Spanish. "La
Bamba" featured some fierce guitar work, as well as the thick sound of the
Danelectro bass, which gave the instrument more electric presence than it had
previously enjoyed on any rock & roll disc. Valens was subsequently hailed as
one of rock & roll's teen idols, and he hit road in early 1959 alongside
Buddy Holly,
the Big
Bopper,
Dion & the Belmonts, and Frankie Sardo.
Billed as "the Winter Dance Party," the tour was originally scheduled to hit 24
Midwestern cities over the course of three weeks. The musicians all shared a
single bus, whose heater broke several days into the tour, worsening the long
drives between each show. By the time the Winter Dance Party rolled into Clear
Lake, Iowa, on February 2,
Buddy Holly had grown tired of the
chilly conditions and decided to book a plane in order to fly to the show's next
stop. After that evening's show at the Surf Ballroom,
Holly boarded the plane along with Valens and
J.P. "The Big
Bopper" Richardson. The aircraft crashed several minutes after takeoff,
though, instantly killing pilot Roger Peterson along with all three of his
passengers. Ritchie Valens was 17 years old.
Valens only had about two albums' worth of material in the can, as well as some
lo-fi live tapes of a gig at a local junior high, before his death; undoubtedly,
some (or many) of these were demos or unfinished tracks. Other singers emulated
Valens' Mexican-American brand of rock in the following years, most notably
Chan Romero (originator of "Hippy Hippy Shake," who also recorded for Bob
Keane's Del-Fi label and used some of the same musicians who had backed Valens)
and
Chris Montez. In the 1980s and 1990s, the L.A.-based Latino rock band Los
Lobos were often cited for reflecting Valens' influence, and groups like Los
Lonely Boys carried the torch of Chicano rock into the 21st century. Meanwhile,
the 1987 film La Bamba (whose soundtrack heavily featured Los Lobos) gave his
story a glossy Hollywood makeover, exposing Valens' legacy to millions even as
it introduced the usual distortions and factual errors in its dramatization of
his brief life.
