Emily, I'm not sure what "bamba" means in Peru, but rest assured, I'll ask next time at Carlito's, the best restaurant in Buenos Aires (1000 times better than anything in Palermo!), across from the Abasto. It's a Peruvian joint.
As for the song la bamba, I'll tell you that I was 17 years old before it occurred to me that "yo no soy marinero, soy capitán" means "I´m not a sailor, I´m the captain". Before that, I´d heard it a million times but had never paid attention to the words, I guess. |

emilyb, "La Bamba" es una tradicional canción latina,ni se de que pais viene
pero se conoce en varios,y parte de la letra por si te sirve: "para bailar la bamba se necesita un poquito de gracia, un poquito de gracia se necesita y arriba y arriba, bamba,bamba,bamba yo no soy marinero,yo no soy marinero soy capitán soy capitán soy capitán. bamba bamba bamba, para subir al cielo,para subir al cielo se necesita una escalera larga, una escalera larga y otra cosita y arriba y arriba,etc" como verás la letra no es muy rica en contenido pero el ritmo sí es contagioso,normalmente cuando en una fiesta hay una guitarra,es típico que alguien toque la bamba(o era típico..) saludos Mario
