  • La Bamba (song)

    "La Bamba" (pronounced: [la ˈβamba]) is a Mexican folk song, originally from the state of Veracruz, best known from a 1958 adaptation by Ritchie Valens, a top 40 hit in the U.S. charts and one of early rock and roll's best-known songs. Valens' version of "La Bamba" is ranked number 354 on Rolling Stone magazine′s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It is the only song on the list sung in a language other than English.

    "La Bamba" has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by Los Lobos, whose version was the title track of the 1987 film La Bamba and reached No. 1 in the U.S. and UK singles charts in the same year. The Los Lobos version remained No. 1 for three weeks in the summer of 1987. The music video for Los Lobos' version, directed by Sherman Halsey, won the 1988 MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film.

    Traditional versions

    "La Bamba" is a classic example of the Son Jarocho musical style, which originated in the Mexican state of Veracruz and combines Spanish, indigenous, and African musical elements. The song is typically played on one or two arpas jarochas (harps) along with guitar relatives the jarana jarocha and the requinto jarocho. Lyrics to the song vary greatly, as performers often improvise verses while performing. However, versions such as those by musical groups Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan and Los Pregoneros del Puerto have survived because of the artists' popularity. The traditional aspect of "La Bamba" lies in the tune, which remains almost the same through most versions. The name of the dance, which has no direct English translation, is presumably connected with the Spanish verb bambolear, meaning "to shake" or perhaps "to stomp".

  • Gods of the Old World

    The Gods of the Old World are a collection of fictional supernatural beings modeled after real-world pagan deities. In the Warhammer Fantasy setting, there are many fictional deities provided to add color and verisimilitude to the game’s background. Most or all of these entities seem to be analogues of real-world gods, chosen to present a war-torn, grim, perilous, and adventurous world.

    The setting does not emphasize a creation myth, origin stories, or myth-cycles. The core stories for the setting tend to focus on Sigmar, the national patron god of the Empire, the Empire being the main setting of the Warhammer background.

    The Warhammer setting’s artificial mythology presents views of the gods as evolving over time, and worship of particular gods waxing or waning as political and social changes affect the people of the Old World. Gods that are presented as popular and influential in the early timeline may be presented as less important in the later, “current,” period. The mythology also presents differing perspectives and conflicting accounts of the gods, similar to inconsistencies in real-world mythologies.

    La Bomba

    by: Ricky Martin

    Es una bebida
    Que va cambiando tu vida
    Una gotita de nada
    Te vuelve loca, loca divertida
    Agua de risa, con unas gotas de rosa
    Y una aceituna sabrosa
    Y en lo caliente, esa es la bomba
    Muevete mamita, que me vuelvo loco
    Emborrachadita de la bomba estas
    Cosa Linda, Cosa Mona Sube
    Sube que la bomba va
    Bum, bum, dando media vuelta
    Bum, bum, otra vuelta mas
    Bum, bum, y en cada
    Esquina nena dame mas
    Que noche con vida
    Intensamente vivida
    Te vas quedando colgada
    Inofensiva pura enamorada
    Mira guapa sale volando la ropa
    Sigue bailando la luna
    Luna gatuna esa es la bomba
    Muevete mamita, que me vuelvo loco
    Emborrachadita de la bomba estas
    Cosa Linda, Cosa Mona Sube
