La Bamba De Vera Cruz

A traditional huapango song, La Bamba De Vera Cruz by Terig Tucci is often played during weddings in Veracruz, where the bride and groom perform the accompanying dance. The dance is performed displaying the newlywed couple’s unity through their execution of complicated, delicate steps in unison, as well as the couple using only their feet to create a bow with a listón, a long red ribbon.
