La Bamba is a biography drama movie set in the 1950s about the rise of rock-n-roll singer Ritchie Valens. The plot revolves around his success in the record industry, his first love, forbidden relationships, and the challenges he faced as a Mexican-American in a predominantly white society. It also explores themes of racism, interracial romance, and the sacrifices Valens made for his career. The movie is based on the real-life story of Ritchie Valens, who died tragically at a young age but left a lasting impact on the music industry.

Jamboree adheres to the usual formula of late-1950s rock & roll films: A plethora of musical numbers linked together by the wispiest of plotlines. Kay Medford heads the cast as manipulative showbiz agent Grace Shaw. Hoping to land pop singer Pete Porter, Grace connives to break up Pete's romance with female vocalist Honey Wynn. But who cares? The audience came to see such musical faves as Fats Domino, Count Basie, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jodie Sands, Ron Coby, Slim Whitman, Carl Perkins, Frankie Avalon, Charlie Gracie and the Four Coins. As a promotional tie-in, Jamboree also features appearances by 21 of North America's top rock-and-roll deejays.

Liza Lee, fast-talking press agent for Al Jarvis, persuades Jarvis to stage a Musical Mystery Contest, with a $5000 prize to the person who can first name the most musical numbers and their performers. Lots of musicians perform.
