Traditional origins

La Bamba is a classic example of the Son Jarocho musical style which originated in the Mexican state of Veracruz musical style which originated in the Mexican state of Veracruz and combines Spanish musical style which originated in the Mexican state of Veracruz and combines Spanish, indigenous 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.[

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".

The traditional "La Bamba" is often played during weddings in Veracruz.

The "arriba" (literally "up") part of the song suggests the nature of the dance, in which the footwork, called "zapateado", is done faster and faster as the music tempo accelerates. A repeated lyric is "Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán", literally meaning "I am not a sailor, I am a captain"; Veracruz is a maritime locale.
