In this special episode, The DIVE pays tribute to one of rock and roll’s brightest flames — Ritchie Valens. From humble beginnings in Pacoima to a meteoric rise that changed the sound of an era, his story was immortalized through the 1987 classic La Bamba.
Charles Sherrod Jr. takes you deep into the man behind the music — the teenager who brought Latin rhythm to American airwaves, whose voice bridged cultures, and whose tragic flight etched his name in legend.

We’ll explore how La Bamba captured that magic on film — from Lou Diamond Phillips’ unforgettable portrayal to the soundtrack that reignited Valens’ legacy for generations. It’s part biography, part film reflection, and all heart.

🔥 Talent made him a star. Fate made him a legend.
