Bryant, who died along with four other people, not only triumphed on the basketball courts as a figure of the Los Angeles Lakers but was also a great personality outside of them and a celebrity in the United States and the rest of the world.

Fate was especially cruel to Richard Valenzuela, better known as Ritchie Valens, since at the time of his death he was only 17 years old, in the process of rising to musical glory.
The best example of his style was “La bamba”, a traditional jarocho son that, passed through the new filter of rock and with a touch of cha-cha, gave Valens his first success.
