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.
