My class would like to perform "La Bamba" as part of a video program. I understand that this song is an anonymous folk song. Do we need the rights to perform this song?
"La Bamba" is not copyrighted. You can do whatever you want with the song. However, the popular US rock version by Ritchie Valens and covered by several later artists is copyrighted. As long as you use the folk song, you do not need the rights.

La Bamba is the true story of Ritchie Valens, an up and coming rock and roll singer who died tragically at the age of 17 in an airplane crash. The story line follows Ritchie on his rise to fame, beginning with his life working on a farm in Pacoima, California. Buddy Holly and J P Richardson were also killed in the crash.
The climax is when Manuel ismperforming his lip-sinc at the talent show and the record gets stuck. To save his performance, he just keeps doing the same dance move, as if he had planned on making the performance funny.
